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.

Whilst this photo is well below expected standards, it is offered out of interest as it now clear that the Canadian Kingfisher programme to replace the SAR Buffalos faces serious problems with shortfalls in performance delaying further deliveries. Weight increases have led to the CC-295 being underpowered. This example was flight testing last summer and still sits awaiting its fate next to 295516. Meantime, CC-130Hs are being used in a stop-gap role. Rather like the USN NC-37 I've just uploaded, it's one of those frustrating southward views where the sun never reaches that side of the subject.

Based upon Gulfstream 550 N544GD, this unique conversion was first taken on charge by the USN's VX-30 "Bloodhounds" range and test unit based at NAS Pt Mugu, CA, in 2018. The NC-37's mission includes keeping missile ranges clear of hazards during tests, gathering telemetry data from launches and serving as a communications relay platform. It replaced one of the ageing NP-3D 'Billboard' range support aircraft but still awaits some further work as seen here at Tucson, where it is unfortunately not possible to photograph the aircraft sunny side other than by being airside.

As an enthusiast that cut their teeth on prop types like this back in the day, this seriously appeals. I'd been hoping to catch one of the two beautifully adorned Golden Knights C-31s while in service, but delighted with this opportunity, even if the other is now preserved much closer to home in its country of origin.

Very lucky timing at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway to catch this colourful Osprey which dropped in from NAS North Island, apparently on a training flight designed to take in the restaurant in which my travelling colleague and I later also ate.

With the withdrawal of seven FedEx MD-10s near the end of 2022, this magnificent machine became the last of its type in commercial service. Itself ex FedEx and converted from DC-10 to MD-10 status in 1994 by the installation of a glass cockpit, it joined TAB in 2013 and has since been a regular visitor on cargo services linking Santa Cruz, La Paz and Cochabamba with Miami, but normally only in the night hours. On this occasion luck was with the photographer when it arrived several hours late, the first time in daylight since November. How wrong does it look with the Boeing appellation!
