Currently there are four B-2s and five B-52s on the ramp. There’s also a third HC-130J 13-5790/FT.

There’s also a fleet of C-130s which presumably are shuttling stuff for next week. From ADSB and the scanner they’ve been to North Island, Pt Mugu, San Clemente Island and March, and possibly others for the ANG birds.

Serials for the first four from ADSB, all devoid of markings. They are operating from the transient ramp:

(08-8603) C-130J AEGIS 11
(06-3171) C-130J AEGIS 12
(08-3172) C-130J AEGIS 13
(08-3173) C-130J AEGIS 14
10-5701 C-130J on main ramp
92-0547 C-130H ROLLER 47 NVANG
96-7323 C-130H POSSE 01 MTANG

On the east ramp is 09-9211 C-17A 62 AMW

On the main ramp:

86-0211/AT F-16C
87-0258/AT F-16C

That’s it so far!

Today will be the day units push out to forward locations throughout Ca ( mostly ) to morph into the Bamboo Eagle element ; expect RF vul to be minimal

Loads of departures, but of the visitors only the RAAF came back.

Five OT/ET F-15s arrived this afternoon, 2xC, 1xE, 2xEX.
