I am afraid that Melchior is correct. Those Dallas birds don't even have the NAVY titles next to the roundle. The unit has 3 Orions, but you never can tell which one it is. Frustrating ....

welke baan zal het worden ?

The first four P-3C Orions of VP-40 arrived at Kadena last week. They are 161586, 161596 (both with LSRS pod), 163006 and 163295.

According to a press release early 2014: Eight-month deployments are becoming the fleet standard.
The release was talking about aircraft carriers and their wings, but maybe this also applies to the P-3 detachements.

today, Monday, two Alouettes were seen at Valkenburg: Bluebird 03 was A-301 and Bluebird 02 is A-?????
A-247 was at Schiphol today calling Bluebird 01

om 8.25 vloog ter hoogte van Huis ter Duin een NH-90, welke is dit ?
om 8.40 vloog boven Noordwijk richting Schiphol de VC-25A

de aangekondigde 7 politie helicopters zijn vandaag allemaal gezien; het zijn:
AW.139 PH-PXY en PH-PXZ
EC.135T PH-PXA, PH-PXB, PH-PXD, PH-PXE en PH-PXF

zondagmiddag is ook de tweede AW.139 PH-PXZ gearriveerd op Valkenburg.
de militaire heli's hebben sinds de aankomst niet meer bewogen

De AW.139 PH-PXY is vanmiddag rond 14.30 uur teruggekeerd van RTM wat er op zou kunnen duiden dat de Amerikanen vandaag niet meer gaan proefvliegen.
