Noted at Yuma in the open hangar, at awkward angle to read, in the morning of 12 October were:
72243, 72314, 72294, 72307, 72303, 72313 +1
No operators noted besides that one had the Arizona tail band.

According to FR24.com a four-ship had arrived the afternoon before in two pairs: 13-72294 15:46, 14-72314 15:47, 13-72307 15:55, and 14-72313 16:03. Luckily, these match with the ones we read

Lastly we saw one in the dome hangar of Campo border patrol station, old Hwy80 Pine Valley, CA, between El Centro and San Diego, 32°42'59.66"N, 116°26'59.00"W, looks like a second was detached there but out flying. So alas, no confirmation/update for this location on your excellent list.

72294 was noted at Pine Valley CA this morning.
The cabin of a Huey has appeared next to the helipad. Sadly a flooded track prevented closer inspection.

72297, 72307, 72309 and 72313 were all noted at Yuma today

Thanks for reporting these Andy. Are you able to share more details of the Pine Valley location?

The coordinates are listed in Post 6.
South side of the I-8.

I believe 72261 was replaced by 72256 sometime around January 17th.
