Hi Dallas49m,

Hi all,

US Navy Metroliner 910502 C-26D first time seen with (ADS-B) location. The Metroliner Navy flights appear regulary on the weekend. Could be from Stuttgart/Germany to Napels/Italy, but i´m not sure about this.

Hi all,

Mode S code 3EB21E. Callsign BRONCO1 received at 2500 feet final altitude (is normally the lowest receiving altitude for  a landing aircraft on my Radar for Zurich IAP when aircraft approachs from the nord. Aircraft was recorded at 10.17 AM today. Does someone know what type of aircraft that was?

Morning Rolf,

According to military Mode S, 3EB21E relates to a German AF EF-2000 with a serial number of '3061'.

Thank you Ian.
I did not know that there are mil mode s code homepages existing.

Ian/Andrew.

I would not go with that tie up as EUFI's are TACTICAL.  The tie up may well have been relevant for one particular day/flight but they changes.  Also the code is used around the fleet so may not even have been used on that type on this particular flight.  Some kind user may however be able to advise what squadron uses BRONCO as a call sign and that could help determine the details

Afternoon Alan,

Glad to see you made it back safely. For the information of Rolf and others, military call signs are available here. It shows 'Bronco' as the call sign for the 31st FW based at Aviano in Italy with F-16's. Having said that, I am sure I have had that call sign also used by C130's of the USMC. So, who knows!

Cheers Ian, got here at 0200 due to accidents no the motorway north of Oxford, lovely way to while away an hour or so, not!!

Doesn't help to tie up the 3EB21E code, but as Ian says the BRONCO callsign is used by USMC C130s, specifically the KC130Js" of VMGR252, USMC, at Cherry Point, N. Carolina

[EK01]

And as if to confirm that, KC-130J 169225 c/n 5792 of USMC has just come over with flight id 'BRNCO95'.
