1-) A USAF C-37A (01-0030) landed on 01/03/2021 and was noted at the Gulfstream service center.
2-) A green G550 (N584GA) has been over by the G700 hangars for the past month or so. It's registered to the USAF, despite the Gulfstream registration, but is listed as a future MC-55A Peregrine for the Royal Australian Air Force. I originally assumed that it would become a C-37B (or related variant) due to the USAF ownership.

A Nigerian Air Force Gulfstream G550 (5N-FGW) was at the service center last night, 01/09/2021. The Tanzanian Government G550 (5H-ONE) was parked nearby.
01/16/2021:
1-) USAF KC-135R (57-2603) was parked near the local Civil Air Patrol building
2-) USAF C-37A (01-0030) departed as "VALOR30," the same callsign under which it arrived a couple weeks ago
3-) A future Israeli Air Force G550 CAEW "Eitam" (N552GD) was seen parked outside the modifications hangar again. This is the same one I photographed on 12/12/2020.
01/17/2021:
1-) The G550 CAEW "Eitam" (N552GD) was still parked outside the mods hangar
2-) The KC-135R was also in the same position as last night
3-) Tanzanian Government G550 (5H-ONE) was noted partially sticking out of a hangar at the Gulfstream service center with engines removed
01/23/2021:
1-) The future Israeli Eitam (N552GD) is still sitting out in the open
2-) A previously unseen/un-noted G550 CAEW (N967GA) was towed into a hangar near the G700 buildings. There was another G550 in the hangar but I was unable to read off the registration.
3-) A Gabonese Government G650ER was on the ramp at the G650 service center
4-) 141 ARW KC-135R (57-1502) arrived as "EXPO82" from Fairchild AFB
5-) 2 T-1A Jayhawks (95-0041 and 95-0060) from Columbus AFB (48th FTS "Alley Cats") arrived not too long after the -135. -0041 did a couple touch and gos while -0060 landed after the first aircraft.
6-) A CH-53E (165251) from MCAS New River (HMHT-302 "Phoenix") was noted on the cargo ramp. A sister aircraft, 161181, arrived later in the afternoon and did several circuits around SAV.
7-) 2 T-45Cs were at Signature but I wasn't able to read off the registrations
01/30/2021:
1-) Algerian Air Force G-IV(SP) (7T-VPM) was noted on a run-up pad doing some engine runs
2-) Chilean Air Force G-IV (912) was at the service center
3-) 3 US Navy T-6B Texan IIs were at the FBO: 166023, 166232, and 166217
4-) USAF KC-135R (63-8008) arrived shortly before sunset; equipped with underwing refueling pods
01/31/2021:
1-) The future Israeli Eitam (N552GD) was briefly pulled out of the hangar for an engine run
2-) The future Aussie Peregrine (N584GA) was still outside the modifications hangar and was briefly started up for some checks shortly after the Israeli jet was pulled back into the hangar
02/07/2021:
1-) KC-135T (59-1471) was parked near the local CAP building. The Air Dominance ramp is no longer visible since they put up some dark mesh-type material on the fence.
2-) 3 UH-60s took off in formation (the numbers on the tails were 0-26890, 0-26967, and 0-26966). I'm not the best with Army registrations so I'm guessing the 0s stand for "00" or something similar.
3-) A Japan Coast Guard G550 (JA502A) was at the service center. There is no information available about this airframe at the moment, indicating that this is a new development. I'm assuming that this aircraft is at the center of the deal signed by Marubeni Aerospace (Japan) in 2020 (proposed in 2019) to supply the JCG with a G550 as a supplement for their existing pair of older G-V maritime patrol jets.
4-) 2 of the South Dakota ANG F-16s returned after a mission: 88-0438 and 88-0463
