And the LN birds departed for delivery. Not positive how many. They were scheduled for Bangor, ME but diverted to Syracuse, NY as the tanker had issues. Delivery to LN should be Wednesday.

First flight for AF-379, 20-5619/HL, 388 FW, 421 FS, today, May 1, 2023.

5 Lakenheath F-35's are to be delivered with a departure from NAS FW today but that did not happen. Perhaps tomorrow. AF-360/364 I imagine. But that is a wild guess.


Tally.

First flight for AF-376, 20-5616/LN, 48 FW, 493 FS, today, April 28, 2023.

AF-378, 20-5618/LN, 48 FW, 493 FS was also noted today but was not a first flight. Must have been earlier this week.

I suspect some TX AFRES F-16's are on their way to Lajes for the TDY in the middle east.

They were supported by KC-135R Gold 01, 64-14832 of the TN ANG and Gold 02, 63-8018.
