OK I got the Mode-S intercept below:

AE2239 62-1857 ALLIED 1 2012-04-15 15:55:58 C-130E United States USAF | 1SOW | 6SOS [KHRT]

But per a press release I got from the US Air Force (see link below) all the C-130e aircraft have been retired from the USAF.

So what is the deal with 62-1857. Is it a c-130e or something else??? Is the hex code valid for that aircraft or something else???

Inquiring minds would really like to know.

Hi Laryy,

I think this code could be a HC-144A. AE2239 sits in the middle of a bunch of HC-144's.
