Static display area
C-95AM reads 2299

Shelter 2
C-208 reads 2706

Outside
H-50 reads 8776
C-95AM 2291 in dump area, additionally 2296
C-95BM reads 2308
C-208 2723 instead of 2722 but not 100% sure

I did not see 5953, 5960

C-98 2719 arrived Wednesday and departed Thursday

Sorry, a few fat fingers on the typing.

C208 def 2722. Last two digits were identical.

5960 def there Tuesday. I remember seeing the photo 30 mins ago.
5953 I need to check - it was seen Thursday but right now am fed up looking at the back of my camera. 🤣🤣

One addition is a dumped C-95 at the fire department (between the two runways.
This had 82 on the nose (I guess it's 2282, but not sure).
And there might have been AT-26 a little bit further behind it (towards runway 16R), but I don't have any pictures of it.

Thanks a lot for the good exchange, Ian.
There must have been one more C-95 in the storage area and additionally two more stored A-29B were identified by others: 5905, 5962.

Delete F-5EM 4854 which is prob a misread of 4834.
