Where is this RC-12X based?

Post by Joseph29 »

I am adding RC-12X's to my sim and I am fixing up some plans I have. There is one aircraft I don't know where it is based at. The aircraft is 85-00152 and according to scramble the unit is I2WD Flt Act. Where is this unit from?

There's a few pictures on Flickr that say JB McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. A quick investigation in Google Maps shows they are on the north ramp of KNEW sharing the airfield with the NJ ARNG.

KNEL is the ID for Maxfield Field. The old NAES Lakehurst. Google Earth shows one RC-12 sitting there (imagery date 5/20/2019).

KNEW is Lakefront Airport in New Orleans.
