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

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 :-

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

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.
