According to one ship AIS the Leopold 1 is down in the Bristol Channel area so if that is correct I doubt if the NH-90 will be in for a while.
Equally so another AIS has her in the North Sea and yet another says she is out of range.

It will be just like the old days when an arrival is a pleasant surprise!

15:00 SAM634 due imminently
External serial and ADSB trace need confirming as the C-32 identities need careful cross-checking
Previous threads for these C-32 movements elsewhere refer to detailed photos being required in order to identify the actual/likely true identification for individual a/c
SAM634 was carrying 80002 on the tail, confirmed by photograph.

This only applies to 3 of the 5 C-32B serials.

The SAM machines 98-0001/02, 99-0003/04, 09-0015/16/17 and 19-0018 are all C-32As

25001, 86006 and 96143 are N226G and N610G in disguise. They swap them around as needed. There's a lengthy thread on scramble forums about them called "black c-32s" or something along those lines. They can be easily ID'd from the kick plate size on the L1/R1 doors. One of them has a thin plate and then other has a fat one. They get changed from civil to mil and back again at Duke Field. Under civilian reg they operate out of Mobile and under mil reg they operate out of Eglin. :thumb:

To add a little bit more detail to raski's post....

98-6006 has not been noted for over two years (I believe). It has usually been associated with N610G - thin straight kick plate
99-6143 has usually been associated with N226G - fat wrap around kick plate
02-5001 historically used to swap around between the two airframes, and rarely strayed outside the US. However, since 98-6006 stopped appearing, 02-5001 has been associated with N610G
Cheers, Bob
