RCH5003 question from 11-12-08

Location : huntingdon.cambs

Hi all,

I noted RCH5003 overfly on 11-12-08 headed back stateside. Showed on SBS as AE056E (which should be 86-0017, 85-0003 should be AE0560). Can anyone confirm if this was eyeballed as 85-0003 please, because I need it!

TIA Ray

Hi Ray, An odd ball this one..
code AE0560 (85-0003) hasnt flown (or been recorded) since 3 March 2008.
AE056E has been seen several times, Reach 434 at Ramstien and was eyeballed as 86-0017, then again on 24th August as Reach 309 but this time was eyeballed as 85-0003, its been over a few times as Reach 6017 and 5003 and verious other reach ###, so if its Reach 5003 can only asume its 85-0003 and if calling Reach 6017 then its prob 86-0017, unless we get an eyeball on this one,untill they fix the problem, then will only have to guessat it. :scratch:

Hi Ray,

thanks for the input. I have checked scramble and it was 100% confirmed as 85-0003 out of Ramstein that day, so a cop after all

. A couple of C5 seem to be playing silly buggers with he hex codes. I guess its beg, borrow, steal in USAF nowadays! Laughing
