As I already announced some days ago, elements of VMFA(AW)-225 "Vikings" (MAG-11, 3rd MAW), MCAS Miramar, California (tailcode CE), were relieved in place at Al Asad Airfield, Iraq, by elements of VMFA-115 "Silver Eagles" (MAG-31, 2nd MAW), MCAS Beaufort, South Carolina (tailcode VE).

Thank you, guys, for all twelve spotted VE serial numbers!

:shock: :shock:
A swap of AV-8B Harriers is currently expected by elements of VMA-542 "Tigers" (MAG-14, 2nd MAW), MCAS Cherry Point, North Carolina (tailcode WH), deployed to Al Asad Airfield, Iraq, since late 2007.

Only one sample pic of their deployment:
https://www.2maw.usmc.mil/MAG14/vma542/ ... il%201.JPG" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
(164570/WH 01)

Probably there´s also a swap of EA-6B Prowlers at Al Asad.

Please note: All of you are very helpful aircraft spotters. But let me tell you: I´m special interested in documenting OEF/OIF aircraft deployments. And in this case, at first I check news media coverage and public U.S. military websites, and secondly I check deployment/redeployment stopover info given by this great topic.

Is there any other people on Scramble who is interesting to share OEF/OIF aircraft deployment news? I would be very grateful to meet any new friend!
