From the database there isn't a -5524, so presumably 5624 (which is already reported)?

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. The three MH-60Rs appeared to do a flypast of some sort, with the Aussie one in the middle...

It’s a regular thing, known as SODO (Simultaneous Opposite Direction Operations).

Re: Nellis AFB (KLSV/LSV) - Red Flag 23-2 OVERVIEW

On the mornings of 22, 23, and 24/3/23 I only noted 11 AC F-16s on the ramp. However a close inspection of my photos on 22/3/23 shows (86-0)303/AC midfield in the dirt on the left side of RW 21R, surrounded by cones. Guess it suffered a runway excursion on the night of 21/3/23 and got put away.

Re: Nellis AFB (LSV/KLSV) - 2023

Whilst checking through my photos I noticed A-10C (79-0)177/ET in with the based A-10s on the morning of 22/3/23. It was fitted with travel pods so guess it left, I didn't notice it on the subsequent two mornings.
