Re: Al Dhafra AB,UAE (OMAM/DHF) 2012 MIL

This appears to show a Kadena-based F-15 (note '18 AMXS' on intake cover) at an "undisclosed location" (probably Al Dhafra since 380th AEW) in SW Asia in October: http://www.dvidshub.net/image/765251/afcent-command-chief-visits-380th-aew I would think this to be 67th EFS since 44th was there earlier...

Hello all, I assume that the VMF A-314 birds will follow-up the AV-8Bs that were destroyed last week! [ Post made via Mobile Device ] It looks like VMFA-314 deployed to Al Jaber as part of a theater security package: http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2012/oct/26/miramar-fighter-jets-deploy-secret-mide...

VMFA(AW)-224 was possibly heading to Iwakuni as UDP replacement for VMFA-232. Nice catch.

Re: Fort Worth/Alliance, TX (KAFW/AFW) - 2012 MIL

Tally, I just noticed your edit on the TAW-6 T-6As that went to Alliance. Thanks for keeping us posted. I guess then these 'A's will not receive an upgrade and only Whiting and Corpus will get the 'B's.
