Question for the hive mind experts on Army/ArNG aircraft. Saw a C-12 40325 arriving Sunday afternoon at Richmond Executive Airport in Chesterfield and being hangared in a spot that at one time was associated with a couple National Guard detachments. Actual markings on the plane read 'United States of America' with no service branch specified. Typical military off-white paint job with no tailcode--which also leads me to think Army. Several personnel in fatigues with luggage.
73/Allen (N4JRI)
Yeah the Army has those scattered all over for security purposes I assume.
Del ANG at KILG has a Army C-12 that is a regular.. McGuire AFB has a couple usually callsign WING.
The one C-12 in and out of KILG on coms sure are quiet.. barely acknowledge tower when landing.
I had article recently on these guys and can't remember where I got it from.. will have to google around.

Good morning,

Six Dutch F-35s departed from Leeuwarden airbase [EHLW] as NAF322 and NAF326.
They joined with their tanker MULTI 27 (A-330 T-059) and continued as a flight of seven to Lajes
for a nightstop.

Their next destination should be Burlington, VT before heading to Nellis AFB.

They were on boom frequency 299.600 and NAF 322 was air-to-air on <245.275>
and NAF326 on <379.375>. Later the whole flight switched to <245.275> AUX40.

Thanks Rene. I punched in your freqs and set up the SDR to snag any unknowns while I was at work. Nothing was heard on the boom freq as I'm sure the last refueling was finished well before they got into Maine. Here's all I caught:

1522z 379.375 NAF326 flight of four, A-A some chatter then talk about conditions and runway at BTV.
1524z 387.025 NAF322 flight of four, A-A discussing conditions at BTV, runway in use.
1534z 293.700 NAF326 checking in with SCORPION OPs at Burlington (BTV). NAF326 says a flight of eight F-35s inbound about fifteen minutes out. NAF326 flight followed by NAF322 flight.

That's all. Hope this helps. Thank you for the heads up as always! Much appreciated!

Couple KC-46's showing on Acars filed for EGUN Mildenhall later at FL380 so assume staging over there.
FLAM-31 #15-46070 from McGuire and
FLAM-32 #18-46055 from SJ.
Flam callsign tankers usually have large interesting receivers.
1905 local FLAM-32 showing on ADSB just departing Seymour J.

Odd callsign heard here tonight "Skylab" calling another Skylab on 121.500
Turns out PC-12 from Labcorp... Callsign sort of threw me into the Wayback machine.. LOL

Those PC-12's sure are popular with US Hospitals running organ transplants etc around the USA.

2113 local BLUE-21 KC-135 #62-3569 from Wichita Kansas inbound Dover on CP 349.400 req 120k fuel..

Thanks Rene and jetcrafter. I have them now on 379.375 and can see both tankers on ADSB.

Coming up as "Mike Mike Fox 27 formation flight" on the ATC radio and his buddy MMF26 is in trail.
"Flight of ten aircraft in the block 260 to 280"
