Thanks Mark! Ouch! through the sneaker? Damn! I saw that on Scramble but wasn't sure if it was accurate. Thanks for the confirmation.

As a matter of fact, I have another MC-130 (11-5733) that just passed over my area (heard him) right now. Got ATC running both V and U but nothing yet.

Same thing, this guy comes back to 9th SOS out of Cannon too.

Update:
Didn't catch him on ATC but I did play BGR departure on LiveATC. Callsign was KNIFE 11 He was a single ship. After BGR, he went to ZBW 120.250

11-5733, using the Knife callsign but not showing one ADS-B Exchange, turned his transponder off near Millen, GA. The last time ADS-B Exchange shows activity from that aircraft was in February 2026, when it was flying from/to Moody AFB, GA.

Looks like a low pattern for some reason. I do not see anything special about the area of the pattern. But the 52 did fly over Arlington.

No they are definitely a South African operator (ZS is South African registry) but they base the aircraft in the UK for ease of operations, easier to have the aircraft closer to Europe than fly across the African continent each time. They do operate a hangar in the UK for maintaining the UK based aircraft.

Aeronexus Corporate was incorporated in 2001 and obtained a World Wide AOC from the South African Civil Aviation Authority. The company was set up specifically to manage a Presidential Boeing 727 on behalf of a Head of State. This was a turn-key solution which included Flight Operations, Maintenance and Accounting, all of which were performed in-house.
In January 2010, Aeronexus expanded its operations to include two B767-200ER aircraft, one in all-economy 220 seat configuration and one in 100 all lie-flat seat configuration.
In late 2012 Aeronexus relocated their 100 seat VIP Boeing 767-200ER to the UK to meet the growing demand in the European long-haul VIP market.
The VIP Boeing 767-200ER was replaced by a VIP Boeing 767-300ER by late 2015 offering more space and comfort as well as increased range. The aircraft was fully refurbished in early 2016 and fitted with all-leather first class lie-flat setting for 96 passengers and a discreet and private area fitted couch that converts to a comfortable bed.
