Sorry No heads up Niall 5min warning on the MC12 and I even missed the Gulfstream as he overshot doh

[np1991]

No worries G, was at Inverness anyway, tried to get back once the Itai had arrived but made it to Brodie when Elvis called for start, so went back to Inverness

All

The actual serial for the MC-12W was 09-0646 as is operated by the USAF,
if it was a US Army example then it would be the serial posted by Al

[np1991]

Shame it said US Army on the side of the airframe as seen in pics of it.

[Mike]

It was delivered to the USAF as 09-0646 but has been transferred to the US Army within the last couple of years.

Scramble reckon that it is now 09-00646 :- https://forum.scramble.nl/viewtopic.php?p=912787

Always trust Scramble, and pictures of the subject.

Niall

Scramble aren't always 100 % correct as are obviously other aviation
Data based
Some times I send them updates for records they show
Picture of the Mc-12 would be nice.
Hopefully I'll be able to have a look before I head out to Japan and South Korea later this week

[np1991]

Correct but a picture showing 'US Army' and 00646 on the tail would confirm it as 09-00646 to me but then what do I know.

[Mike]

Picture of the Mc-12 would be nice.

Will this do?

It is 09-00646 of the US Army.
