A C-12 with a secret. Formerly with the US Embassy in South Africa, it was evicted when the government there found that it had a cut-out panel with cameras being used for spying. It was subsequently re-serialled in an attempt to cover its identity, having originally had a different FY 76 allocation. It is now Ankara-based.
