AC301 168918. Looking into the other.

Very busy day at Oceana as the Truman Carrier Group is doing work ups ahead of deployment. Spending lots of afternoon doing FCLP at Fentress. Below is a log of everything I photographed that I could confirm the BuNo for (which is far different from whats in the database). Lots of jet loaning seemed ...

165316/NY-316 I believe is destined for VR-53.

UH72A 11-72229, 13-72283 (as Raven 29/83)

I believe the UH72s are MD ARNG birds.

Thanks!

The Entrance to the old Cement Facility has been closed my last few visits so I parked there.

No info on the show unfortunately.

VFA-211 operates F/A-18E these days.
Also, can you please re-check AG-102 and AG-103, as the serials are not valid (well, they are, but one is an MV-22 and the other a C-40)

Thanks Andy,

AG-102 / 166427
AG-103 is actually AG-104 / 166655

Dropped into NAS Oceana the other day as the weather was forcasted for no clouds and southwest winds which are prime for Runway 23 Ops. In addition due to the runway at NAS Norfolk being closed the E-2 & C-2 Units are flying out of Oceana as well as a few other places I believe. First bird to arrive...
