Re: Secret mission
Looking at the satellite imagery nothing really caught my eye except a V shaped shadow behind what is obviously a V-tail Bonanza down by the Georgia State Government helicopter ramp. Appears to also maybe have one or 2 Seminole's scattered about the airport. Other than that is corporate turbo-props, private jets, and a bunch of common GA planes. So on the whole appears to be a pretty bland average airport, and nothing else really sticks out.

Re: Secret mission
It was just a fuel/rest stop I'm sure. He's trying to beat the snow storm home. The plane flew past Statesville, NC around noon today.

Re: Secret mission
So if Scott landed in San Marcos, that is home to the CAF Central Texas Wing. They have several T-6s, so unlikely the visit would be for them. What they do have is B-25 Mitchell, a C-45 Expeditor (Beech 18), a U-3 (Cessna 310), and a P-39. Due to the fact Scott has previously mentioned they'd love to do a twin, and the hype around a twin, I think we can rule out the P-39. So that leaves the C-45, and B-25, and the U-3. Logsitically, it makes more sense that if they were making a GA twin, they would make the Aerostar due to easy access (they own 122PC), so we can probably rule out the U-3. Flightaware doesn't report either aircraft making a flight this month, but that doesn't mean they haven't flown at all. Scott seemed very interested in making a B-25, so maybe that is the next aircraft?

Re: Secret mission
+1 on the C-45. I'd be all over that classic beauty.
Take care, Brett

Re: Secret mission
He didn't land in San Marcos. He went to Austin. That was the whole point of my post - if he was going to visit San Marcos, he would have gone to San Marcos. He DID NOT. He went to Austin Bergstrom, where the Collings Foundation was at for their Wings of Freedom 2018 tour.justindw199 wrote:So if Scott landed in San Marcos, that is home to the CAF Central Texas Wing.

Re: Secret mission
Okay, do you have his whole flight log? I only saw one leg from Austin to Cobb County on Flightaware, it didn't have anything else.CAPFlyer wrote:He didn't land in San Marcos. He went to Austin.

Re: Secret mission
Fantastic following you guys thrashing out the route! ....gets the brain working! ...isn’t a Bamboo bomber the nicknamed Cessna UC-78 Bobcat based in the Collins collection, is it a T50 design? ....it’s got TRAINER written all over it ....
It’s a 1930’s multi engine Trainer ...also named the Wichita wobbler cos it used to blow about on its spindly legs......but I’m only guessing....in the field this bird has earned its place in Real history ....
then when we are trained we could get the Lockheed P-38...that’s rare and Twin enough for anybody’s hanger? Just a thought..... although I would still like the c-45

Re: Secret mission
There were several other legs that can be seen if you are registered, but as I said in my post about him going to Austin and the responses afterward - if he was going to San Marcos, he would have gone straight there, not stopped in Austin. While I don't have direct information, I'm pretty sure that the "secret mission" had nothing to do with the CAF at San Marcos because they weren't flying during the week. Their only new acquisition, "That's All Brother" didn't fly on those days and the B-25 is down for an engine change. Meanwhile in Austin, the Collings Foundation had their B-24, B-17, TF-51D, and Huey flying every day. Based on his original post on what was going down, it makes much more sense that he's doing something with CF in the air than doing something on the ground with the CAF. I tend to believe that the most simple explanation is probably the best one.justindw199 wrote:Okay, do you have his whole flight log?

Personally, I think he was there to meet up with the guys in the Pirelli World Challenge who were at COTA last week to get sound for the top secret A2A foray into iRacing.

I would be SO down for having to maintain my iRacing vehicles to the same degree as an A2A aircraft. Of course due to the E-sports nature it wouldn't really fly very well with most of the userbase.
Re: Secret mission
I hope we hear soon more about this secret mission and the next accusim plane. I’m wasting so much time trolling these forums hoping for news
