Thanks for having a look

Nice photos, but why would any US military aircraft transiting the counties of Norfolk/Suffolk not use Mildenhall, Lakenheath etc ? All the infrastructure would be in place and 'friendly'. No offense to the good people of Norwich

Thinks.. why should military aircraft carry civil registrations?

[SpringHeeledJack]

Delivery flight to another foreign airforce ? If that were the case I'd still take issue with the security aspect, as these particular aircraft are used for in-theatre surveillance and probably are fitted out with sensitive equipment.

Those two airframes, like most US Army C-12As, were converted to C-12Cs (PT6A-41 engines). N40R was formerly 73-22256 and N46L is ex 77-22945.

Civil reg? I always thought possibly some sort of civil contractor operating the aircraft?? They operate through out the ME to/from Afghanistan?? Mil callsign one day next day civil reg???
