Hi Andy, At what time did you catch MH-60S .../617? We also noted CH-53E 162501/YJ-501 from HMH-465. The majority of the day it was parked close to the "stored" T-45's and the Blue Angels. It also flew one circuit on a test flight around 11:30. Still have to organize my log so will add if ...

Think the A-10s might be for a Green Flag? Any going on right now? Also any info on who the F-35 guys are (other than the F-35Bs)? Cant wait to get out there next week!

Green flag is going on till next week. But unfortunately this edition is at Barksdale.

Well Aussies were on their way but Aussie 1117 had an IFE and so the entire flight returned to Hickam (PHNL) together with their KC-30, Aussie 470. Aussie 1115 flight landed without issue. The C-17 might have continued on to Nellis.

Hopefully they will try again tomorrow.

AT-07, 18-5413, came into NAS Fort Worth JRB, Jan 9, 2023. Came in as Duke 01 and carried the tailcode WI. I guess came in for some updates and will be transferred to the WI ANG, 176 FS.

Still no other F-35 flights locally at the factory. Is it the same in Italy?

F-35A AF-355 20-5595 LN 493FS/48FW 14-12-2022 on tail motto ''MORS INIMICIS'' https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52579910061_a462f28820_5k.jpg Good catch. I did not even realize it to be honest that this one will go to the 493rd. So checking the other LN bird, AF-358, 20-5598, it also is a 493rd b...

If FlightAware is to be believed, 66-?365 was 66-8365

I think that is correct. If EN has two 365's than 66-4365 will be marked as such. With 4365 on its tail. 66-8365 would be marked as 66-365. And scramble database has 4365 with the 12 FTW at Randolph.

Plus a green/brown camo marked "469FTS"
