there has been some confusion over the fiscal for -0033 (06 or 07). However thanks to Ken on Mil Spotters forum, who contacted Textron Bell, and also confirmation for 21SOS it has been confirmed as 07
There were 8 Ospreys at one time in Sig yesterday, the 4 from MLD, two Thunders and two Legacys. The Legacy's were off the KEARSARGE but not sure about the Thunders though they did seem to come from the south too.
Two Ospreys flew overhead Malta out of Sigonella en route to USS Baathan .Monday ,afternoon. Too high to note any numbers but used callsign Thunder 37,38.

Near this Atlantic was also parts of a 2-seat fighter (back part covered by plastic). Next to this one was something (looks like parts of a S-2) marked with 185-M
Today i heard on Malta ATC UAF2509, a CH-47F from the UAEAF. It was flying form Sicilia to DTTG which is Gabes - Matmata in Tunesia (close to the Lybian border). It was flying overhead Lampedusa, and continued with Tunis control.
I am not 100% sure if it departed Sigonella, or one of the other mil airfields in Sicilia, but it's certainly a nice movement in my opinion.
Good evening
Just thinking about trying to squeeze a return visit in , with hostilities near a climax.
Obviously with the info blackout in place, a off-line reply would be most welcome.
Are the Swedes / Turks & UAE assets still in situ ?.
If so any serials would be appreciated, as to any Aircraft rotation, since april.
I believe there has been a unit change of the Turks !.
Some of the recent Wittmund deployment jets , were ex Unified Protector assets !.
I was informed Diyabakir F-16 took over.
But wether they or any other coalition aircraft are in situ is not known !!
Any offers ?
