Taxying in to park near Terminal 1 at 9:13pm, after arriving from Broome as ‘MAGMA 3’. This unit flies a fleet of transport aircraft in support of special operations. Missions include insertion, extraction and resupply of special operations forces. The aircraft are painted in civilian-style liveries to hide their covert military mission. Based at Cannon Air Force Base, New Mexico, USA, with the 27th Special Operations Wing. This aircraft was built in 1996 with test reg D-CDXC and was delivered to US Airways Express/PSA Airlines as N461PS. In 2008, it was sold to Cirrus Airlines in Germany as D-CIRL. It was sold to the US Border Guard in 2011. Sierra Nevada Corporation was contracted to provide design, modification, integration, modernisation, test and certification for conversion of 17 Dornier 328 airliners for use by the US military, so in 2012 this aircraft was acquired and registered N953EF. Later that year, it was allocated USAF serial 11-3075, based on its manufacturers serial number. Photo © Marcus Graff
