Algerian Government G-V (7T-VPG) was noted at the Gulfstream service center over the weekend along with a G-IV(SP) (7T-VPR). The G-V seems to have arrived for servicing, taking the place of the G-IV.
Noted yesterday afternoon was S70 N60RN.It arrived from Auburn, AL and I believe departed to the port. This is the Austrian one (6M-BC) that passed through back in January 2018 on its way for mods.

A Mexican Air Force G550 and a US Navy C-20G were seen at the service center over the weekend. I didn't get a chance to read off any registrations or serials though
Saturday, 10/24/2020: C-17A (05-5145; "The Spirit of Ronald Reagan") was noted near the Civil Air Patrol squadron building. Some T-6A Texan IIs stopped by for the night: 06-3815, 00-3593, 05-3777, 06-3850, 00-3582, 07-3878, and 04-3758 (all had "CB" tail codes). Additionally, I managed to read the serial on the Navy C-20G, 165094, which had been moved to another part of the service center. It is currently missing an engine.
Noted today on the 165AW ramp was KC46A 17-46027. No marks but was using Kaww call sign so maybe 22ARW.
Also visiting were VMFA-115 F/A18Cs
165185/VE-03
165175/VE-04
164978/VE-08
US Coast Guard Gulfstream C-37B (02) landed in the afternoon and was seen at the Gulfstream service center, 11/14/2020. Additonally, there were 2 T-6A Texan IIs (CB tail code) that landed later in the evening, 99-3555 and 07-3894.
USAF KC-46A Pegasus (17-46027) came to SAV again with the callsign KAWW92, 11/16/2020. It briefly parked at the 165th AW ramp before taking off behind a flight of Oklahoma Vipers launching for an early afternoon sortie. It apparently came in from TJSJ before heading down to KVQQ. Also, a C-146A (95-3058) did a single touch and go but I didn't get to the airport in time to see it.

17-46027 belongs to the 56th ARS, which is under the 97th AMW, part of the 97th Operations Group at Altus AFB
Today, 12/12/2020, had some more military activity than usual:
-) 3 165th AW C-130Hs, 94-7321, 93-1562, and 94-6708, were seen flying in the pattern for Runway 10 in formation (one behind the other) and conducting missed approaches. 2 landed soon afterwards but the last one, 94-6708, conducted a few more missed approaches and a touch and go before landing. After landing, 94-6708 then taxied to the 165th AW before taxiing back to Runway 10. It then took off again and landed soon after.
-) A US Coast Guard MH-65D (6536) landed on Runway 10 before departing again, presumably heading back to Hunter AAF/CGAS Savannah
-) 459th ARW (756th ARS) KC-135R, 57-1487, returned as DECEE91 after departing under the same callsign in the morning
-) A single TW-2 T-45C (165641) departed
-) A G550 CAEW "Eitam" (temporary reg. N552GD) in partial Israeli Air Force livery was doing engine runs; this is supposedly the third and final one for them
-) N542GD, a G550 being modified into an MC-55A Peregrine for the RAAF, was noted inside a hangar next to the Israeli Eitam
