KC-46A

46101 is still at Everett. WM268 will turn out to be a miscoded T-38.

Late report for MConnel yesterday for 22-46101 using c/s WM268

Thanks Mark,
Very re-assuring as as it looked unusual for the call-sign and slightly ahead of other deliveries
Best regards,

I was in the States last week and we saw it track too so after checking all of the trackers, one of them showed that it was a T-38. I'll check with the guy I was with to see if he took a screenshot of the serial (I was driving).

Tony,

Hex code AE63D1 was reported on the previous page of this thread as being a miscoded Whiteman T-38, noted recently at McConnell. 22-46101 should still be with Boeing.

Many thanks,
Tony

More of the same. I couldn't figure out why I couldn't see 46105 HEX AE63D5 doing rollers at Whiteman albeit from long distance. It all became clear when I set up to tog it on approach to Topeka Forbes a couple of days later and it turned out to be a Vance T38.

Read the post a few back, they are miscoded T-38s.

It's because the dummies at ADSBexchange have changed all the T-38A tie-ups to be the MISCODED KC-46 tankers, so now all the genuine T38s at Whiteman are showing as tankers . The T38 hex tie-ups are CORRECT, it's the tankers since 22-46099 that are ALL miscoded. The US mil are clueless. They did the exact same thing with the new Hercs a few years ago that all ended up with the same codes as Army Blackhawks, although in that it seems that it was the Blackhawks that were miscoded as they eventually got new codes.

None of the tankers since 46099 have delivered yet and are still at BFI and PAE .

NO! They are miscoded TANKERS. The T-38s codes are correct per official US mil documents. The tankers should have started a new hex block elsewhere when they reached the end of the FY21 block at 21-46098 AE63CE, not carried on by effectively stealing the T-38 codes.
