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.

Any new arrivals? Saw an Italian tanker went into Nellis yesterday. Are Italians part of RF?

Highly unlikely that the Italians are involved. XX-1 is usually ‘four eyes’ only of which Italy isn’t one.

No sign of any other F35s yet but still time! Looks like the Aussies are on their way at last.

First week of December I shot NG-501 with BUNO 168254, 'JUBBS' & 'SME' on port side canopy rail. Guess we'll find out if they've changed it in the last 2 months.
