KING30 squawked 7700 near Jacksonville (JAX)

At 15:40 UTC on 4 November 2026, KING30, a Lockheed Martin 382J Super Hercules registered 13-5790, began transmitting transponder code 7700, general emergency, near Jacksonville (JAX) at 14,000 ft.

The code stayed up for about 55 minutes; we last saw it at 16:35 UTC, by which time the aircraft was at 14,000 ft. The map shows the path flown around the event, colored from live ADS-B positions.

A squawk code is set by the crew on the transponder. 7700 is the general emergency code: it covers anything from a medical issue on board to a technical fault, and most 7700s end in a normal landing. Nothing here is confirmed by the operator or an investigating authority; it is what the aircraft broadcast.
