Military/Aviation commentary page with occasional investigative reports.

Tend to focus on western covert operations aircraft.

New article out on how to verify aviation tracking screenshots.

H/T @detresfa_ for highlighting one of these fakes in circulation

@HarrisonSi50441 Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I apologise for the suspicion but I'm sure you can understand given the history of its former owner. Phoenix Air have been linked to the intelligence community and are known to register their aircraft under different company names.

[lecrayon @lecrayon11]

E120 associated with Phoenix Air spotted heading for the Middle East. Recently re-reg'd on 23/05 to 'Triple X Aviation International LLC'. Given the company was formed on 01/05, it's not unreasonable to suggest this is a new shell company.

@JANN_IIS Lynden and APA/Cardinal Services/Prescott are all linked via key personnel, I haven't found a link with Tepper yet.

[lecrayon @lecrayon11]

@LatAmMilMVMTs Excuse the shorthand, was referring to the site. I know they tend to pop up on FR24 fairly regularly

[lecrayon @lecrayon11]

AirTec Dash-8 spotted arriving at BOG yesterday. While not new in the region, (AirTec boasts of 10+ years experience in SOUTHCOM AOR) it's rare to see these pop up on ADS-B.

Maaan I need to start spewing sensational tat with how the numbers are doing on this one...

- No identifying aircraft information
- Partial/Incomplete screenshot
- No citation to support claim
All major red flags to suggest this is false.

Finally getting round to populating some of the notes for locations relevant to my investigation, playing around with the formatting of them at the moment.

@JANN_IIS @SR_Planespotter 3/: Promising stuff, here's FFL1474, PIA reg N113XU, inbound to Reynolds Airpark from Destin Executive Airport (KDTS) on the 7th of May, its most recent flight afaik.

Flight continuing from MXP to GLA. It's possible these two are heading back to the states.

[lecrayon @lecrayon11]

Pair of DoSAW Dash-8s arrived at MXP from HER this afternoon. Purpose of the trip is unknown at this point although it's pretty rare to see two of these flying together.

Former USDOJ ATR-42 heading south from CEW. Was reg'd to 'Intercoastal Aviation' in February, haven't been able to find any details on the organisation yet.

One of the suspected Quality Aviation CN-235s has arrived at ECP from its base at JNX. Previously N196D, this aircraft has been involved in rendition operations historically. Currently reg'd to shell co 'Two beaches LLC'

[lecrayon @lecrayon11]

@Borrowed7Time @JANN_IIS It's worth noting that both 747s came from US military bases. 27217 came from MCAS Iwakuni and 26353 arrived from Elmendorf AFB. While not definitive, it could be an indication of military cargo heading for Thailand.

[lecrayon @lecrayon11]

For the second time in five days, the Prescott CN-235 has linked up with a member of the civil air reserve at UTP in Thailand.

@Borrowed7Time @JANN_IIS Previously on 18/06, a National Air Cargo flight arrived at UTP not long after Prescott arrived.

@SR_Planespotter No luck on cams, nearest one with decent refresh rate is a few miles away from the airport

Interesting activity going on at Reynolds Airpark this afternoon. First time seeing a contractor Dash-8 operating alongside one of the MI-17s.

@SR_Planespotter Big ups, I'll have a look into it. Not seeing it on ADS rn if you've got the deets?

[lecrayon @lecrayon11]

@SR_Planespotter Wasn't planning on it, something going down?

New 427th SOS Casa C-295 lands after a test flight. Unknown registration.

It was on and off ADSB using two different hexes.
