249249

Unknown acft southeast of Corpus over gulf
using 249249 instead of ICAO

using 249249 as ICAO and using GOTO FMS for c/s
over gulf SE of Corpus, FL220 501kts

Any ideas?

It's E-6B 164404.

That miscode is also used by C-130 164997, but it won't be displaying GOTOFMS.

Thanks. I thought it might be an E-6B but wasn't sure which one. Back in early August I saw E-6B
164386 use "GOTO FMS" as a c/s.
Also "AirFrames.org" shows several C-130s and at least one C-5 using "249249" as an ICAO but only an E-6B using both 249249 and GOTO FMS together.
