C17 HUNT62

[anorak]

This C17 is using HUNT62 as it`s flight no, only seen them using REACH before. Any one shed some light on it please?

Hi anorak

Looks like this c/s has been used for at least a couple of years by C17's.  I googled it and a number of sites had made reference to it including one that tied 04-4136 to that c/s.  Not much help but certainly not a one of.

Hello anorak

None specific, just typed in HUNT62 C17 and a number of sites came up with sightings on various days in the recent past.  I am not in to military aircraft in a big way but looks as if there are a number of sites that deal with military and some that you can subscribe to.

Regards

When based in Middle East all C17's use MOOSE, only if from US on direct flights (or via en route) or on delivery or departure do they use REACH

Just for info when based in Middle East KC10's use WHISTLER, 135's mainly used PYTHON but recently changed to ELITE, Hercs all over the place depending on mission eg BANDAGE, GLIDE etc etc. Again REACH only used on delivery in and out when on rotation.
