E-2C 2 had a problem Friday and has been replaced this morning by E-2C 1 which arrived as FNY5482 and flew as DAMO11. Not sure if this is a permanent switch for the remainder of the exercise. Pity that 3 wasn't sent..

Request:
july 20th two Sentinels were logged on SBS flying, ZJ690 and ZJ694.
Does anybody know if ZJ654 has no sq-marks and was also at Waddington the day after.
We were at Waddo at 11.15h and two were on the flightline (ZJ690 and one unreadable)..
Maybe only those two were on base that time???

Anyone?
