72188 and 72256 were both seen at Tucson on Saturday, 72307 was at Imperial last Tuesday.

AF501 and AF504 visited KTUS yesterday (EA-18Gs David!), and the three VMFAT-101 F/A-18s were at Gateway. I wasn’t at Gateway but I know a man who was. BuNos to follow (when I get near a computer).

Seven Growlers launched in the afternoon, two didn’t come back: 530 and 556 (the CAG )

The VFA-122 jets were carrying refuelling pods, so guess that’s what they were doing in the afternoon mission.

Many Thanks In Advance, Best Regards Marco The first one has been a three week exercise for several years now.

@747woody Was also there 20th early AM. Only 4 V22s where present when we left around 10am none readable. We only saw 15 of the HL / F-22s did you manage to read any one the 20th as Trying to work out which one was (presumably) Hangered. Many Thanks. I had to look closely at my snaps to see that al...
