The USAF has 3x C-12J aircraft. In additiona to 86-0078 and 86-0083 (stationed here in my unit, the 55 ALF), we have 86-0081 which is stationed at Elmendorf, along with 2x C-12F models. There was a fourth stationed at Holloman AFB, NM, (AFMC) but I have heard that it was recently transferred to the US Army, who also flies the J-Model. Our J-Moedls are currently under going modifications that upgrade out avionics to be RNAV/RVSM compatible. The ANG does NOT use the C-12J. A few units have C-26s that look similar, but it is not the C-12J.
