Can you please confirm the top one. Should be 10801 I think.
This leaves 10905 still to delivered if my reckoning is correct.

Hi,

With thanks to Joost and RHWW, this was Quid77 flight. Unfortunately eagles already joined up as a flight, so no callsigns were heard (so far).

It is reported on Fightercontrol that the F-15s were using the callsign 'MAUL' before joining up with QUID 77. There were no individual aircraft callsigns picked up sadly.
Hope this helps.

Does anyone knows why there is smoke coming out of the ground?

Hi,

I think the smoke is from those rubber things attached to the cable

Lets hope to see at Lajes the brand new ones also on their way to the red flag.

My last photo of one of these brand new F-16CJ on their delivery flight to Pakistan (1 from a flight of 3 on June 22, 2010):
