OK, thx. 164709 was with VMFA-232 in 2022, so perhaps it was just a (short-time) loaner.

There are any number of planes that have come in this week that I have no pix of: several F-35s (might have been fleet or NAWDC), a P-8, KC-135, and 3 AG tail code Supers* that just came screaming in as I type this, they were so loud my wife even commented, 'sounds like somebody got too close' *pro...

On Monday evening 4/9 a Chinook sat on a flatbed ready for transport outside ‘Leerdock’. A second flatbed already outside the base had the aft pylon of D-665. Tuesday morning the Chinook was gone too.

Out of the 15 on the flightline yesterday late afternoon (23rd) I managed to read 12.
54+05, 54+14, (54+16), 54+21, (54+24), 54+29, 54+31, 54+32, 54+38, (54+39), (54+40), 54+41.
Between brackets were ID'd by MSN.

Possibly here, SME Société Métallurgique d'Epernay, Culoz, France ?

AIRCRAFT ADVISORY: Increase in aircraft activity at NBVC Point Mugu.

"Starting July 22, multiple aircraft will be arriving at Point Mugu, in support of multiple joint-force test events and annual large force exercises. NBVC will host approximately 65 aircraft."

Most likely Hot Blaze related, exercise was near Zaragoza and ended today.

17/(appeared to have an Australian roundel, so N48-017 RAN???)

N48-017 was noted at Fallon early June.
A Insta clip showed an Aussie C17 arriving at NI couple days ago. Most likely to bring this home.

Thanks for checking anyway, time will tell.

Both AAC Apaches departed around 1700hrs.

The two that stayed are ZJ191 and ZJ213, photoproof.

Thanks for posting.
Can you confirm AG501 & NG504 too please.
Your AB500 on the 1st should be 166931.

168271 is confirmed.
