The November issue of Air Forces Monthly contains a summary of the AFSOC Accident Investigation Board report.into this incident. The AIB report identifies the aircraft involved as "19-0054".

"19-0054" is incorrect but seems likely to be a typo for 10-0054, indicating the aircraft lost was not former 7th SOS 12-0065, as had been previously reported.
