Nice log! I especially like the log on Cecil Field, I always wondered what is now all out there since the NAS closed!

I logged the F-4 at the gate of Key West as F-4N 153019/AD-100 on 16OCT1996.

Who can tell me something more about the C-27's are they becoming USAF ones???

Hey Gijs,

That is an awesome log you put together!!
About the C-27's..... those are based at Patrick AFB and, as you mentioned, are all part of the Department of State Air Wing. This wing has several types of a/c (e.g. Bronco/C-27A/AT.802) and a bunch of Huey's. They don't have specific described task, just whatever has to be done for the State (also some CIA-like work).
Those C-27 won't be becoming USAF ones.
