AE61F6 - AE61F9 Are?
Posted: Thu Jul 04, 2019 10:15 am
This block of hex codes is very interesting on many different levels. We have them all over the place in the db because of all the mixed signals we have seen in the intercepts.
Here is what I have seen:
AE61F6 5/13/2019 Mode-S c/s 1720978, Fixer 55
AE61F7 6/6/2019 Mode-S c/s G20979, R20979, Assault (ASLT) 979, LAC5873
AE61F8 7/2/2019 Mode-S c/s 1820980, LAC5875
AE61F9 7/3/2019 Mode-S c/s Raid 91, LAC5876
The first three do not look like 130s, unless the Army has purchased some. Look at AE61F7. These Mode-S calls G20979, R20979 indicate US Army and National Guard G#####. The AE61F6 1720978 and AE61F8 1820980 are US Army serials. But all have either a LAC Mode-S or Fixer 55 call which is used by Lockheed down in Marietta and I see here almost daily for the 130J testing program.
Finally I have seen the Raid ## call used by the 27SOW/9SOS Night Wings out of Cannon AFB, NM. (See below)
AE61F9 17-5876/18-20 --- 2019-07-03 13:30:08 MC-130J United States USAF | 5731 20825
AE61F9 17-5876/18-20 RAID91 2019-07-03 13:30:08 MC-130J United States USAF | 5731 20825
So is Lockheed intentionally miscoding these to fool those of us reporting their test? Or is it something different?
