theaviationist The U.S. Air Force Air Mobility Command is making a drastic change to its fleet of cargo and tanker aircraft, removing all identification markings, including tail numbers, tail flashes, unit markings and the iconic U.S. Air Force writing usually found on the fuselage. The AMC, in fact, decided to remove all the identifying information from aircraft for operational security (OPSEC) reasons, leaving the aircraft wearing a plain grey livery with a small US flag on the tail and low-visibility USAF roundels. IMO this is weird, if not completely senseless. The benefit of removing the unit markings and insignia seems negligible. OPSEC is certainly important but it requires a more comprehensive approach, that includes radio and transponder discipline, ETD and ETA to hide from spotters etc. Read the full article by @ste.du at TheAviationist.com (direct link in IG story) #theaviationist #opsec #osint #airmobilitycommand #kc135 #130 #kc46
The benefit is great, actually.
Btw, when I was in EOD, we regularly flew in transports without markings. Every unmarked a/c I ever flew on was part of a black op. So, there's that.
Yeah sounds like a great idea. Obfuscate adsb next...
yup. If you look at Hurlburt Field in Florida (SW of Eglin AFB)...you will notice that most of the aircraft, especially the MC-130 Combat Talons are sterile from the air. Eglin is the same way. This area is where the snake eaters dwell.
Sounds like they about to go covert on foreign territory. Hopefully not to be part of the Ukraine packages.with no tags. You have plausible deniability
Could also be prison transport crafts they'll be shipping to GITMO.
