Going back on the HOIST 98/99 from the other day into KWRB, them digits have been niggling me, maybe weather re-positions to use as back ups if/when required similar to how they position GOLD 98/99 (CE999) to fill in through the Med when swap over season is happening on the Coronet flights!

0845- Braves (340.25) transition from intercept training to doing some CAS target spotting on ground targets.

Most times the DHS bigwigs will use CG 101 or CG102 for VIP flts. Will look for both.

Last 2 years locally in US this tail had callsigns TOXIC,ZAPER,PABLO,BATT but overseas always AXIS-43

Do you have a local database covering all types going back 2 years ?

I was just updating my KC-135 database and found a discrepancy with an Andrews KC-135. I have an entry for 59-1487, AE0854, that I show on ADSBx using a DECEE callsign last noted in July 2020. However I can't find it now using ADBx history or in any other database. It's probably a mistake on my part ? I was just wondering if you or anyone had a record of that aircraft in your databases, or an updated listing of ADW KC-135s ?

From what I can tell based on ADSBx callsigns these are the current KC-135s operating out of ADW. The date indicates the last month observed operating.

I lasted noted 57-1487 in May 2020

Thanks for reply, but different plane. It was 59-1487 and AE0854 I was wondering about. After further checking I found 59-1487 and it's been on display at Scott AFB since 2010, so not that one. I was probably getting it mixed up with 57-1487 as well but not sure where I got the AE0854 from ?
