    Seen 11 July 2019

    A05380 displays as a Glider.
    Callsign N12YA is a Bell Helicopter model 505.

    I believe the glider was an old aircraft using this registration, but was significantly damaged in a crash years ago.

    I think this is operated by ABC 13 in Houston Texas. https://www.helis.com/database/cn/49947/

    So many duplicate hexes reported for T-38s .

    ADFF8C also reported as 68-8162
    68-8197 also reported as AE00F1
    64-13235 also reported as AE0006, but added as AE0004.

    I suspect that a lot of box swapping has gone on over the years, so there's bound to be all sorts of errors/miscodes/duplicates. :rolleyes:

    Yes I understand. My 2nd post for 63-13235 was 100% verified by photograph and my eyeballs so that’s a sure thing. Until they swap boxes again that is! I see a lot of T-38 traffic here and photograph a lot of them so most of the numbers in my database are correct however I’m sure some have been moved around over the years.

    Thanks for that. Any confirmations are always welcome.

    It's unfortunate that the T-38s don't use callsigns. At least the Texans have started using them, recently.

    That's a strange ICAO hex.
    On another flight tracking site it's listed with hex 3DDC61.

    It was using the correct hex code 3DDC61 up until 2018-12-15, but is now miscoded.

    yes, I know, but the hex code of the DHDSB has been changed , the old Hex Code 3DDC61 is not active

    C90000 is an invalid hex code. 3DDC61 is the correct code, whether it's using it or not.

    funny ... when Christoph 47 starts with the DHDSB, then always receive from the helicopter I the C90000 code!

    No one is doubting that.

    It's just that C90000 isn't the correct ICAO hex for that aircraft.
    For starters all German aircraft have their hex code starting with 3C, 3D, 3E or 3F

    C90000 would belong to an aircraft registered in Vanuatu (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanuatu)

    Someone who didn't know what he was doing reprogrammed that transponder.
    Or it's malfunctioning (less likely)

    See also this table which country has which ICAO hex range:

    Thank you, so as a cause to suspect that the German transponder was set wrong? :)

    Well it's not a German transponder, it's just a transponder, don't know where it was produced.

    But yes the transponder is set up incorrectly.
    It's just a box where you program the number that was given to you like a plate for your car.
    (Hidden in an engineering menu, not where you set the squawk)

    So the same authority that gives you the tailnumber (in this case D-HDSB) also assigns you a ICAO code (in this case 3DDC61)
    For German aircraft, that code will be in the range of hex ids assigned to Germany by ICAO.
