First F-16s are due here tomorrow. GUESS is these will be the CO ones that arrived thursday at KPMS. However, only 7 arrived, so either 1 went tech, or from these 1 is spare and 6 will come over.....

Let the fun begin....

Can we please add in the post if hercs are confirmed for Air Defender or just adsb loggings?

As there are currently loads of hercs passing through CYYT and by far not all are heading to Germany (number also go to France and south).

Thanks,
Oz

Hi,

Just to add, the 3 C-17s are calling RCH334, 172 and 173 in order.

Cheers,
Oz

I think the B-1s will be gone by then, but that's off topic...

On topic question.... Is anything known about arrival (dates)?

Cheers,
Oz

Any clue on the F-16 units? I read CO, but 14 from 1 seems bit much, any clue which other unit(s) might participate?

At the end of January, we went to the US for some spotting. Our main goal got cancelled just days prior to our visit, but nevertheless, there was still a lot to see. This time it was quality not quantity, for example the whole day at Barksdale, we saw, besides the great museum, just 3 flying buffs (...

Hi,

On 10th of Feb we saw 62-3519 departing Tinker AFB to Hickam AFB. It was without any unit markings or serial. Serial taken from guy on base and from adsb. Pilot was given clearance to Hickam as Ronin11.

Perhaps this is your ?

I found out that this is now standard after depot?

Oz

With next week you mean ending 27th or 3rd? Will be at Barksdale 2nd / 3rd. Thanks, Oz [/quote] 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! [/quote] Green flag is going on til...

Thanks Mark! I did visit Tx/Ok few times, but for some reason always skipped Vance. So end of month will go there. Hopefully wx ok and no ice-storm or heat haze

And yes, it's one of the most open bases I think.....

Just out of interest (and because of planning trip there shortly), is spot 1 of the scramble guide (in the corner near taxi track) still available? Looking at Google maps, it seems they rerouted the road....

Thanks,
Oz
