The Embraer E190 with the Spanish hex of 343559 may well be destined for Air Europa. They are due to take another one before year end.

3B7773 is thought to be French C-135 574. However this appears to still be under question on the Mode S yahoo group, so I won't add it to our DB at this time.  We will continue to monitor for positive confirmation of the tie-up.

Regards ACW367

ACW367,

Libhomeradar have 3B7773 as belonging to a KC135R c/n 18557 with the registration 574 with airline unknown. According to my own database c/n 18557 is indeed a KC135R registration 62-3574 but belonging to the USAF and currently in storage !

It appears to be another example of people taking hypothesis and guesswork on the Yahoo Group and taking it as gospel.  It then gets taken to be official.  This is something we want to avoid with our DB because it gets distributed to all Airnav users.

The info I have seen is someone who studied the French 135 sequence in Nov 2009 against known visual confirmations.  Whilst he identified 3B7773 as likely being 574, he had found no evidence of confirmation. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Mode_S/message/139528

The only other report on the Mode S group is three November 2010 reports of overflighs at 20-30,000ft of the Offenbach region, where obviously visual identification could not have occured.  
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Mode_S/msearch?query=3B7773

Consequently, I still consider it to be a dodgy tie-up, until someone lets some group know they have visually confirmed it.  Turning to the airframe, disregarding the possible hex tie-up.  CN18557 is indeed currently (or maybe formerly) with the French with code 93-CP

Would be very interested to know which DB you are using.  I know aerodata has some very serious issues with the C-135 series.  It identifies most RC- and EC-135 airframes which of course have ICAO C135 as KC-135E (ICAO K35E).

Not populating
70203A
A49929 - flight ID=OAE460
C0540A - Flight ID = CD399

[Runway 31]

Rod,

C-FMFG should populate for you as it has been in the d/b since 30/7.  Its operated by Morningstar on behalf of FedEx and is in their colours.

Chirs

70203A is Bangladeshi and is as yet unknown.
A49929 comes out as N396AX.  This is showing as a pending number change with the FAA and is at present N411LF 767-319 c/n 26266/555 of Omni Air International and I would expect the registration change to be imminent but will wait till it is confirmed by FAA before putting it in the d/b.
C0540A is CL30 C-GFVL c/n 20299 with the manufacturer and was added by Orkney.

ACW367,

Just to give you some further information on c/n 18557. As stated my database gives it as a KC135R, registration 62-3574 and currently in storage with the USAF. I update my database on a monthly basis with information obtained from Aviation Letter.Where they get their information from I am not sure.

Bugger just noticed a typo in my earlier post.  RC-135 is of course ICAO R135.  Blame it on late night typing.  All RC-135s in the DB have been with that correct ICAO Code since I updated and corrected them months ago.  Aplogies if I created any confusion with my small typo.
