Not sure what PP is, but I have discovered Libhomeradar, which means I never miss which aircraft it is now!

I must admit, it does take a bit of the 'fun of the chase' away however.

Its a good site that Mark, and the good thing is if your cluey enough you can sometimes figure out which one its going to be a few days before. (i'm still working on that one though).
PP is planeplotter

Ah, I think I have narrowed that one down too!

If you find a C-17 that activates on the Friday generally between 1600 and 2300 GMT (so between 0800 and 1500 Californian time or 0300 to 1000 Sydney time) and it has a callsign that is the last digits of its tail ie RCH6163, that usually is the aircraft.

Perhaps AMC could just PM us the schedule!

Yep, that sums up what i was looking at, after the info you gave me the other week. And a PM from them would certainly save a lot of time and effort...good luck trying to convince them though

Aloha Gerard,

The 735th AMS at Hickam have a recorded Flight Information Service, which lists services for two days - current day and the next day. Call sometime Sunday and they should have promulgated the movement (by destination, not flight number).

AMC Flight Information (24 hours):

0011 808 449 6833

Press 2 for Departures and that will by-pass all of the passenger information details.

Mahalo!

Thanks Mark, but should this be on the open forum? or is it a public service?

Mark W · #**187** 20th November 2009, 04:10 PM

It is published information, non restricted.

Gerard M · #**188** 20th November 2009, 04:12 PM

Ah k, thanks for that.

Mark M · #**189** 20th November 2009, 09:21 PM

Wow, if only international calls were a bit cheaper my flight sim would be looking great with realistic Hickham movements !!! If anyone does call would love a list of the flights other than the weekly Richmond flight.

Todays service was re-routed and operated Hickam AFB Hawaii to Andersen AFB Guam, thence Richmond. He'll be somewhere within the BNE FIR about now I would suspect.

Back to the normal schedule tomorrow, and operates back Wednesday via Pago as usual.
