I found this photo on Instagram a few days ago--looks like a SAM C-37 with a slightly modified paint scheme. I can't make out the tail number, but it does seem to be a numbers-only USAF registration.

Anyone have any info on this?

It's a G-III, so C-20, but it does certainly look like an update to the United States of America scheme. The old one is one of my faves, but this one is pretty good, too. This looks like it might be 30501, which is technically N30501 registered to the Army Corps of Engineers, but doesn't wear the N.

That's it--thanks for the info.

I was able to Google the tail number and got some info. Seems that it belongs to the US Army Corps of Engineers Omaha and Vicksburg Districts.

I found a picture of it before the United States of America titles were added:
