There is a Canadian Training Camp at Lake Havasu Airport, Az with at least 8 CT-156's (including the yellow one 156120).
Normally they stay here for 4 weeks, but I don't know when they arrived.

For anyone over there right now, there are some seven TAW-4 T-6Bs up on ADSB east of the US285 between Roswell and Carlsbad in New Mexico. Sample serials are 166015, 052, 123, 125, 127, 145 & 150. And a bit later 166035, 041, 128, 151, 210, 234, 249 & 254 and finally (bored now) 022, 044, 051, 176, 231 & 256 makes 21 so far.

Interesting, apparently Laughlin-Bullhead City, Las Cruces and/or Roswell have been used for US Navy T-6 winter training (Jan-Mar) over the last decade. I'm curious which airport will be used next year since photo opportunities are usually quite good at these relatively small/quiet airports.

Laughlin has been used at least twice. My vote goes to them; amazing photo opportunities.

I was at Las Cruces last year and I can say that photo opportunities over there are at least as good as at Laughlin.
Here are some samples: http://www.airliners.net/search?country ... splay=card
I have never been to Roswell so I don't know the situation there.
