Hey guys,
just trying to see if anyone has any accurate data concerning if the USN or USMC are still using C-12s for non-training duties, specifically Beech 200 versions, not the newer 300 or 350's. Also does anyone know if VR-56 has recieved all of their C-40s?
Thanks a bunch

You might try the gonavy.jp site used in the Lemoore Air Wings thread. I was under the impression most of the USN base flights with C-12's were no longer. As you mentioned, the USMC are in the process of phasing in the UC-12W (B350).

I know that VR-56 has at least has one C-40...Nose number 696. And most Naval bases have base flight, but they are starting to be more of a rare thing.
