Default Who uses this plane?

"6" could/would be the last digit in the year of manufacture, and "0112" the
last part of the serial number to keep the digits to "5", it is a military
aircraft, and you can be assured that when flying it uses a SAM or other
"callsign", plus it's flight number and not it's "registration" number

Just curious --
Does the military still use the year the a/c was ordered as the first two
digits of the tail number?.. as in "1960" in this example (or maybe just
the first digit? as in "nineteen something-ty six")....followed by a
serial number? (This plane looks too young to be 1960.)

Unfortunately the 60112 is the military designation for public aircraft
(IE
Military). It is not a registration N-number.

Which sounds plausible, but the description in the FAA registry for that
N
number yields a description that describes a single engine plane:
