Hi Bob,

Thanks. That's where it came from-as can be seen, but it was last reported as (IIRC) 91st ARS,6th AMW.

Hi Chris,

I don't know how long ago that report was, but there is a photograph (on Fighter Control) of it in full Beale markings at Mildenhall - taken on 5th December 2016.

I know of 4 definites with the unit - 60-0318, 60-0331, 62-3529 and 63-8879. A further two - ex Hickam birds (57-1508 and 60-0323) - are thought might be with them, but I have seen no confirmation as yet (either sighting or callsign)

Additionally, 61-0280 (336ARS at March) has been noted on ADS-B Exchange a few times this year with a "GRZLY" or "GRSLY" callsign going in/out Beale. Possibly, it is on temporary loan as I have also noted it with a "RATS" (= 336ARS) callsign during the same period.

EDIT:- Just remembered that 63-8012 (507ARS) incorrectly uses AE025F (should be AE026F), so the ADS-B sightings around Beale could have been either - though the "RATS" one is likely to be correct.

It had a full colour "Beale" mid-tale fin. Visual confirmation.

Hi Bob,
