USN Navy C-12s

Yes, there is one slick one like this and two radar birds used for range clearance. Great gig if you can get it if you're looking for an off ramp to the airlines. Lots of flight time, mostly banker's hours, live on the beach. While I was there, we had a mix of VP, HSM, HSC, VQ(T) and one E-2C guy. There are five LT billets and one post-DH LCDR billet. CO and XO also fly.

FWIW, they use these in Sig and Naples for logistics and VIP transport.

Pretty cool!

I've seen some very rough looking freight-dog Metroliners - with bare bones avionics and bare minimum analog FD/AP and instruments. These Navy C-26s are the complete opposite - immaculate! Nicely equipped.

I'm guessing among the least known aircraft in the Navy. The VX community has a few oddballs.
 
Does the navy C-26 not exist anymore? It was such an esoteric job, I'm not sure I ever knew it went away. Thought that was one of the perks of the couple "unicorn" foreign service officer billets and station pilot jobs.

They exist in Naples at the very least.

They used to have them at Pt Mugu too, running an air taxi to and from China Lake several times a day. Not sure if they were Navy or contract birds though, Navy pilots flew them though and we had at least two guys go there after VQ-1 to fly them and either NP-3D's or the DC-130 they had there. They got a decent number of hours flying the taxi service every weekday.
