When i check the callsign on Airnav, it is showing this: 2022 Mar 7   Mildenhall (MHZ/EGUN)

Possibly USAF or Saudi F15 out of Mildenhall using a false hex code.

Some new F35s arrived yesterday these could be the remainder

Oke so it can be mis modes then, no where any info. Airframes, blackswan and Faramir has look in ADU also no info

Aggressor types often use "tactical" or spurious codes to make identification difficult.

Evening Guys,

This code was being used by RETRO61 a Qatari F15 on delivery out of Lakenheath early hours,
Retro 61 / 62 Met up with GOLD 22 K35R out of Mildenhall,

Thanks Ian, did you know any registration or is this a delivery modes code?

Hi Pipo,

The code is a Miscode/ Tactical code/ generic code, whatever you want to call it, but it is not tied to the aircraft,
The first F15 that went up was 17-018 so possibly this was the one that used the code.
The 2nd one to leave was 17-017.
The code is of no use unless you want to put a serial to the code but it is not assigned to it.

Best wishes

Ian
