WTI 2-18

Post by gizmo17 »

Hello everyone,
I’m interested in attending WTI 2-18 FINEX because the weekend is the only time I can attend. So can someone tell me when FINEX will take place? Any info will be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi K2G,

Working through my log, and hope to finish it during the weekend. Here I already have a few answers to your questions, remarks:
164676/WS-407
164671/12 (I don't see a DW code, but this was the 12 from VMFA(AW)251)
164650/13 same as above
164265 is your DW-06, but again, I only have the 06 code.
169415 F-35B only had CF on both sides.
168840/CF-04 (this is your CF-04 bird)
169165/CF-12
I don't know if you remember, but we had 3 EA-18s flying on Friday. I don't see 168770/nl-531 in your overview.
I can confirm your WK-14
I can confirm your WK-08
I can confirm your CF-03

And for Woody, I can confirm CH-53E 162003/003

Cheers for now,
Oz
