Are the serials from ADSBx, or did the info come from elsewhere?

60-0012 should be AE5875
60-0018 should be AE5879

I'm still trying to confirm these..

Thanks

Skymaster, checking my records I see

NATO05 yesterday pinged AE5879
NATO06 yesterday pinged AE5875

so that bit is confirmed at least. I make no comment on their serials as I'm in the same 'to be confirmed' camp as you.

[Skymaster]

Yes, they showed on ADSBx as such.

60-0012 was at Red Flag this year, and AE5875 pinged there, so that tie-up is highly likely, but still unconfirmed.

This photo https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EgiEjwXWAAA ... =4096x4096 seems to confirm the serials but not which one is which. Its from CAF twitter feed for the mission

If 60-0018 was not at Red Flag then that pretty much confirms AE5875 as 60-0012, good work
