02-5001, the actual registration, in some buggy database/software systems becomes : 25001. To add to the 'fun' "ae0433" became "800433" -- say "AE" out load and you'll understand how that could happen.

Suddenly you end up with an Indian -- the 800433 -- C-32B --- the 25001 -- flying from Chania to Paris, which is nonsense : India nor anyone but the US Air Force has C-32Bs, of which there are only two, nor would any Indian aircraft ever fly from Chania to anywhere in the world.

This is a State Department FEST -- Foreign Emergency Support Team -- flight from Chania to Paris. Now you have a story, an interesting one even, that makes sense : State Department staff being scrambled home because of reasons, most likely.
