Rogier,
I have just looked st a non hazed image from a brief visit to Norfolk on the morning of Sunday the 1st of May. I can confirm very clearly from an image taken that AJ 603 is in fact 164496 and not 164495. It also has its wings removed for whatever reason.

They must be really shuffling those E-2s.... 164496 was AC-601 with the Seahawks VAW-126 last summer....

and the very reason why reports should include if serials were actually read or taken from a database
