Been a bit of a swine following this deployment 20.2 so far. VP-1 deployed to Misawa with the majority were flying out of Kadena seem now to have all positioned to Misawa. 169003/VP-26 which was down in El Salvador has moved to Kadena recently with at least one VP-47 frame doing MSLP>KBGR>LICZ to jo...

168760/VP-47 was the airframe involved with the intercept with the Russian Su-35s recently so puts him at LICZ not MSLP, the VP-47 connection down in Southcom was to do with the enhanced narcotics operations prior to VP-47 deploying to LICZ which also explains why at least two VP-47 airframes came o...
