Thanks, list updated.

heard from the crew 93-685 for the red F-16C TurkAF 192 Filo Hmm, the database doesn't list either of the quoted jets as 192 Filo assets. 93-0008 is listed as 132 Filo, last reported May 2023, and 93-0685 is listed as 191 Filo, last reported August 2022. The latter would seem more likely as it was ...
