ASCOT 9329 FLIGHT (1x VC-10, 6x TORNADO) departed for Halifax this morning just after 1500Z. I got up to Dayton just as they were departing - saw the fighters circling and got two blurry pics while driving, then saw the tanker climbing out.
The VC-10/C1K tanker was XV102 from 101 Squadron. The six Tornados aren't Mode-S equipped apparently - or don't have them turned on. They appear to be on a flight path for home. No idea where the C-130 went.
ASCOT 5727 (C-130C4, ZH879) departed at 1550Z.
Just logged 43E7A4 an unknown with an apparent RAF code.
Also logged that 43E7A4 at 0032z-0045z FL 41k.
Seems more and more civilian UK aircraft lately are using that
43E7** range.All civilian but software defaults to RAF.
Seems RAF really show as 43C***

I had this one too. 0110z, still FL41 so Eastbound.
Still an unknown from the relatively new range of M-**** registrations now
being issued by the Isle of Man, which has an independant Govt and is not
part of the UK, but is still a crown dependancy.
I think these are almost exclusively biz-jets, its kind of like a flag of convienience
for owner/operators. Similar to the VB-, VP-, VQ- registered ones that almost never
go anywhere near Bermuda etc.
Plus it`s enabled some `cherished` reg`s like M-AGIC etc
0854 EDT-- have Mace 99 landing at ADW (257.2). Seems to me there have been several Mace "visitors" to ADW in the past couple of weeks. Is the 121st FS switching out F-16s with the SC guys?
Hi Ron,
MACE 99 is the 157th FS/169th FW SC ANG C-130E.

Hmmmm...157th FS/169th FW....may I assume the FS and FW are FIGHTER Squadron and Wing?
MACE fighters did several flyby routines over the July 4th weekend and recovered at Andrews. OTOH, the budget is so screwed that the Air Force may soon have to convert old C-130s with a gunner mount and take over CAP duties. Just having some fun Tony.

Hi Tin,
Yep, that's the one, actually an H model now I think and without my db here I can't provide the serial, but yes MACE 99 is the callsign of the C-130H assigned to the 157th FS/169th FW SC ANG at McEntire ANGB.
