Currently over the Persian Gulf, spotted on FR24.

Three separate KC-135 tankers.

59-1515 (AE07A9)
62-3578 (AE07BE)
63-8003 (AE0139)
4th KC-135 tanker, approaching coast of Kuwait.

60-0343 (AE04E7)
A good example of what an RAF Sentinel R.1 battlefield surveillance aircraft flight path would look like for maximum coverage as it cruised thru Jordanian airspace just south of the Syrian border at Angels 43.

RRR9985 is reg. ZJ692 (43C09D).
From earlier. Weasels south of Erbil.

WEASEL51 is using an invalid hex code, but the callsigns are associated with USAF F-16s.

Current time is 1945 local in Baghdad, just FYI.
5th tanker up, over Anbar Province, Iraq.

60-0366 (AE0505)
6th tanker up now over Persian Gulf.

63-8019 (AE05AA)

For those of you who have wondered what ICAO spoofing is, or why it is getting so much attention lately, here is a short description of what is going on.

I will use @GDarkconrad's post as an example.

1/

1st, the callsign: a plane tracker will know from experience which are frequently used. Many air traffic radio enthusiasts over time have compiled 100s of callsigns assigned to particular aircraft. In this instance, MOJO is often seen in the Persian Gulf by refuel tankers.

2/ Image
Callsigns can be a clue that a transmitter is receiving a false interrogation of its Mode-S receiver. Mode-S is a 6 digit code, using A-F letters and 0-9 numbers. Countries are assigned 3 digit prefix codes for their planes. In this case, AE0 is a code used for US mil planes.

A current look at all HH-60 helicopter variants showing with full reg. and ICAO on ADSBx across the US. Most of these are near large municipalities. Many others are not transponding openly like the one in the tweet above. Those that go dark I cannot (& will not) post about.
