LOG 30 JAN 2024

After landing at Las Vegas IAP, we picked up our brand new Dodge Ram 1500 ( 5 miles on the teller ) and drove to the Speedway.
According ATIS, Nellis AFB used 21 for visual landings, however all aircraft landed at 03.
As 4 A-10Cs were at the holding point, we decided to stay and wait for the flex departure of the Warthogs.
Also all four B-2As had their lights on so we expected them to depart as well.
The A-10Cs departed in the best light, however three B-2As departed only after sunset, together with the RC-135.

A-10C 81-0991/WA, 81-0992/WA 66th WPS 57th Wing
A-10C 81-0965/DM ye 357th FS 355th Wing
A-10C 82-0662/DM bl 354th FS 355th Wing

You might want to check your E-3s. 80-0137 swapped for 78-0577 (as mentioned above somewhere!) and 78-0577 was still there on the 31st with 82-0006.

The 66th RQS are no more, hence the lack of HH-60Gs :( It's just the 34th WPS and 88th TES now:

Visited Nellis on Sunday 14 January.

2 CV-22s were parked somewhere between the A-10s and the AV F-16s.

Anyone know which 2 these were?

Arriving on March 14, pretty much after the recovery of the RF a/c, was an anonymous C-130J-30. FR24 showed this to be 08-8606, coming from Little Rock as 'Hive98'.
