Thanks for the confirmation.

We logged it 15th Jan, but thought that it might have been a mispole.

The Eglin F15s are lined up next to the based F15 shelters.
A flight of four? calling POKEY?51 turned up on Friday during the Flag launch. Guess that was them, or most of them.

Big launch this evening, three B-2s, a B-52 (another cancelled), RC-135, E-3, four Aussie F-35s, F-15EX? (SKULL callsign) and others. Lots of tankers plotting off the coast around LA, which is where the RC and E-3 were plotting, as well as the RAF Voyager and three Typhoons.

Yesterday afternoon there was a pair of VMA-223 AV8Bs in the revetments on the east side close to the AV F16 that didn't make it out. WP-17 and WP-24. Couldn't read the BuNos unfortunately.

With Red Flag 24/1 being done (extended exercise still continues), is there any info on number 2?

Dates?

I have 62nd/308th FS LF and MO F-15Es as taking part. Any other units known?

Thanks,

At least I have the BuNo of WP-17/165585
The other one passed just right over my head so I only saw the belly of the aircraft unfortunately.
