Aldergrove - 14 September 2023

RCH219 C130H 91-9142 [AE02CE] just got his ATC clearance from CYYT/ St John's to Belfast. Taxying out at 09.30z, so a late afternoon arrival i'd say.

Re: USAF Casa 295

That's indeed a possibility.
Was thinking about another one, the C146's, also not a lot of logic in their serials, the construction number is clear, but for the rest.....

Re: USAF Casa 295

This could get complicated, in my opinion there is a difference between the FY (fiscal year) and the (Customer) Serial number on the aircraft. For the 30501 and 70601 i doubt if they have an actual FY, or is 30501 simply the complete number?? Same could apply for the recently noted DHC8 50201, and L...

Re: 'Clean' v 'Gold' v 'Blue'...and so on

And of course today, the USAF disproved this point by using tankers as "Gold 11/12/13" out of Mildenhall to refuel "Tabor 71 flight", TX ANG F-16s going home from Spangdahlem! So a previously almost foolproof system turns out not to be! I find this happens all the time :D As soon as you find the pa...

Re: Italian Navy Harriers

Like TT18, I always double-check every aircraft by eye against the list (and agree with TT18 on the AV-8B/TAV-8B) - the list has an error or two most years. None of us are perfect and I can make errors. I have one of the T-346As down as MM55223, where-as the list has CSX55223, which I believe is ri...
