Have the last of the Ohio's arrived from Amari or are they yet to arrive? Also, is it known how long they will operate from Spangdahlem?

The yellow one has been around for at least 18 months. Painted to celebrate the Coastguard centenary I think.

Both MH-60T's were photographed from the San Diego Harbour front as they lifted off from the airport. Really happy to get both in quick succession. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4617/39599125025_5edde48d4b_o.jpg MH-60T 6029 San Diego Airport WM by Kevin Bell , on Flickr https://farm5.staticflickr.c...

During November 2017, I had two days at Luke AFB. An overcast day 1 led to a better day 2 with wall to wall sunshine. It was interesting to note that some of the early OT coded jets from Nellis and Edwards have been transferred to Luke and are flying with the 61st FS. Also, it was great to bag all 4...

The results of a morning spent outside the fence at DM back in early November. Nice to see so many Dog Patchers flying as well. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4660/38913669315_9cb5cd11f1_o.jpg EC-130H 73-1583 Davis Monthan AFB 1 WM by Kevin Bell , on Flickr https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4764/389136...

Early bird catches the worm. Arrived at 0700 in the hope of getting a nigh shot and was rewarded with the Wing jet full side on.

Five B-52s on the deck at Fairford was too good an opportunity to miss. Here are the results from a visit this morning. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4628/27893734649_0ed44da2af_o.jpg B-52H 60-0005 RAF Fairford 1 WM by Kevin Bell , on Flickr https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4662/38963267164_979382d0a...

A few shots of the resident Hummers and a couple of visitors from a day spent outside Norfolk back in September. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4647/25414267568_6892394df3_o.jpg E-2D 168275 NAS Norfolk 3 WM by Kevin Bell , on Flickr https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4639/25414266978_b25281ee1b_o.jpg E-...

A selection of images from the Andrews Open House held over the weekend of 16/17 September. Given that it was an anniversary year for the USAF, the static display and flying display were not as impressive as had been hoped. Regardless, there were some nice gems in the shape of the AC-130J (which dep...

Melchior, I stand corrected and apologise for any confusion caused. I have had a closer look at the image on my computer and can confirm that the aircraft in question is C-2A 46 162159 of VRC-40 and not 162166 as originally thought.

Many thanks for the corrections Melchior. However, 162166 was still in the markings of and coded as a VRC-40 machine.
