Mode S 3F517A

Dub33 · March 17, 2009, 11:21:02 AM

Hi,

I had a Mode S code (3F517A) this morning between 9.28 a.m. and 9.32 a.m, which appears to be a "German Mil" mode S country, any ideas what it is? It doesn't appear to be in the usual databases

Are there any other sources in addition to Gatwick Aviation and Airframes.org?

I've had this code with the c/s GAF188. I think it's an A310 as I've heard similar c/s series on that type.

PS, where in Dub are you?

GAF CL60 1205, these aircraft change codes frequently.

Hi Dub,

I left Dublin 53 years ago to seek my fortune.

My father used to work in the Phoenix Park and spent a lot of time at Castleknock Gate. My uncle was boss of the Magazine Fort at one time.

Regards,

Tom

Hi Tom,

It's a small world. I live only minutes from there, and my two brothers work for the park service.
