E20158 (the callsign listed) should be 08-20158, a UH-60M Blackhawk. The "E" typically designates it as a US Army Training flight (versus "G" for National Guard), so that would make sense. Also, the ADSB units on the military aircraft are similar to ADSB-compliant Transponders in that the user can set several fields every flight. I know some of the pilots at Sheppard AFB were doing stuff like that before Wing came down on them and put in place specific requirements (not that anyone did anything really wrong, just there was no consistency).

Thank you! Great explanation.

I spoke with an Apache pilot today before I read this and he found it interesting. He also said that some of the AH-64s in his Platoon and Company do not have ADSB and operate under a waiver.

As I understand it, most aircraft without ADSB do still carry Mode S transponders which the radar sites can use to plot (or sometimes estimate) its position through multilateration (MLAT). I say I understand it, I don't really but I think that's the gist... :D

Very few aircraft I see in the southern UK don't show up now including some of the local gliders, paragliders, etc, which use a different system the name of which escapes me.

I recently saw a paramotor track following the M25 motorway round south London very precisely. To my amusement, it left the motorway, went into a nearby town and into a car park, then down a footpath and stopped in a wine retailer! (I was looking at Googlemaps as well!) Obviously the guy was carrying his transmitter in his jacket and had inadvertently left it switched on while he popped out in his car for some supplies. Also sometimes see formations which I've figured out are one aircraft transmitting two separate i/ds via the built in ADSB and a portable transmitter normally used in a different aircraft. One of these flew over me, allegedly an Arrow III and an Arrow IV - just the Arrow IV came across.

Yes. Also, the waiver will be running out soon as the DoD is not excluded from the ADSB-Out requirement, so expect to see more and more of them on ADSB sites as ADSB received.

on Sunday, the DC-3 flown by Historic Flight Foundation.
Not terribly exotic, but still neat.

Not today but yesterday morning, this stunning Lockheed 12A crossed the
Tasman Sea from Australia to a new home in New Zealand.

Basler BT-67 N142Z aka USFS Jump 42 just flew over my place in Redmond and appears to be headed for Redding. I haven’t seen one of these aircraft in quite a while. Here are some good pictures from Jet Photos. I didn’t have a chance to get a shot when it flew by.

And from Flight Aware

Recent activity from Flight Aware RDM is Redmond, Oregon, RDD is Redding, California and MYL is McCall, Idaho. I was based in McCall in a B-17 in 1977

Hi Larry,
thanks for the update, but N142Z hasn't been a BT-67 since about 2013. It is a C-23C (modified Shorts 360) now, ex USArmy 94-00307. I guess someone needs to update the photos on those flight tracking websites. :-)

Thanks, I guess that’s why I haven’t seen one of these airplanes in years. It passed by before I could get a good look. I should have known that Jumper 42 is a Sherpa. I guess that both of the radar sites can get it wrong at the same time. Yesterday Flight radar 24 had a picture of a Beech 1900 while also reporting the airplane as being a Socata TBM.

Can’t be right all the time….Doh!

This is from the Automated Flight Following website this morning

Better than in RI, all I ever see are airliners and the occasional Blackhawk. Though I did get excited to see a formation of three Blackhawks a few days ago.

A shout out to the 4 ship T-28's that were flying around my house yesterday. My guess that they were out of Midway, KJWY. looked really sharp.


Scott, could we make this topic a sticky on the first page please?

Thank you

Three Gipsy engines yesterday, DH Dragonfly and a Chipmunk in formation - Chippy in RAF colours... Wish they'd been a bit closer...

Over the weekend: saw a Staggerwing (part of the STOL take off event at the AOPA fly-in) Three of the half dozen or so remaining Stearman Speedmail mailplanes, DC-3, a Goose, Spitfire, P-51B, Travel Air 6000 monoplane, and the sole airworthy Hamilton Metalplane.

To top it off, I got a ride in the Hamilton.
A big airplane... a friend says it flies like a big Beaver.
It didn't rotate...instead it just levitated off the runway.
Surprisingly quiet (compared to the notorious noisy Ford).

And I got to show Burt Rutan the YL-15 on display in the museum.
So, not a bad weekend.
