Scramble Messageboard

The 26th and final F-35A for the 33FW, 11-5034/EG (AF-45, f/f 21.2.14), was delivered on 28 May. I think originally Eglin had a PAA of 24 'A's, so correct me if I'm wrong about 26.

F-35A 'Strike 11' (serial unknown) departed to Luke yesterday (18 August).

Yes, initial leg was NFW to Canada (Halifax?).

They were Retro56-59 and were: 822 830 832? 833 832 needs to be confirmed though Oz Tails 832 and 833 were confirmed by f-16.net and a Lajes blogger. Thanks for the other two. The blogger noted a KC-10 was used as support. I noted KC-10A 86-0031 Toga90 from 60AMW arrived at NFW on 21 July; cannot c...

Was this 11-5027 or 11-5029?

Sorry, Dennis, but I wasn't able to note the serial.

Five Prowlers arrived yesterday as MAZDA 71-75 with KC-10 GOLD 21 (86-0030).

RH.

Should be VMAQ-3? (Arrived at Al Udeid on 17 February.) Any idea which squadron they replaced?

SD

Mazda 11 & 21 flights of six a/c each (ID'd as F-16s on the Lajes messageboard, q.v.--two diverted there) departed Fort Worth/KNFW on 31 October for Moron/LEMO. Additionally Mazda18 (apparently a spare) RTB'd Fort Worth. Support was RCH720, which departed same day to Rota/LERT.

Neither other fighter or tanker arrived.

Please see my remarks on the Moron messages.

Hi all,

VMAQ-4 transfered their jets to VMAQ-2 this month at the end of their UDP rotation.

SD

VMFA-112 have arrived at Iwakuni for what is reported as the next UDP rotation.4 of their jets were noted at Kadena on the 9th August,these were modexes 02,04,10 and 15. These jets should be the following Bu numbers, 162428 MA-02 162452 MA-04 163099 MA-10 162843 MA-15 Confirmation from someone at N...

BLUE41 arrived here today, so another F-16 delivery to Egypt is imminent. SBS shows this to be KC-10A 85-0032 from 305AMW.

Might VFA-27's Lot 25 jets be going to VFA-151 (latest squadron to transition to 'E')? Makes sense for VFA-27 to get new Lot 35s as CVW-5 squadrons (being permanently forward-deployed) will now all have Lot 31 or later aircraft. Apparently VFA-151 is receiving brand new aircraft as their CAG bird h...

Thanks for your immediate reply, Thunderbolt! Thumbs up!!! And please, post at least one related stopover shot on your Facebook timeline. No problem J.J. Today at Lajes has arrived a flight of 6 USAF F16s with tail code CO. They were followed by 2 KC135. 87-0249 / CO F16C CUBE81 86-0360 / CO F16C C...
