PAT80/81 C-12s

Post by erik_k » Sun Apr 28, 2024 7:46 pm

Today end of day 2 US Army C-12s landed here dep from Venice (seen on ADSB):
PAT80 84-00144
PAT81 84-00153

I saw PAT80 overhead NL.
ADSB linked a different C-12 picture to it: (78-23123 I thought)

HEX was AE03FD

Anyone read those in Edinburgh and can confirm it is 144?
They are nightstoppers!

144 is confirmed. It had a nose wheel problem upon landing and had to be towed off the runway.

Flightradar shows another C-12 (Duke 67) arriving this evening from Wiesbaden at 6.56pm with an estimated departure time of 7.45pm, presumably with a replacement tyre
