I had a great day with a lot of Falcons flying. Photo opportunities were great. At the end of
the day a special `EC-135` came in around 16.30 and was parked on the most southern platform.
Information is most welcome. The 86-0355 and 93-0814 had a special tail (the 93-0814 full color).
At least 3 F-16’s were not possible to read.
* on platform / ° solid grey c/s, 85-1552 + 86-0306 (black serial and tail code).
Chung-Hua MGKJ = RoC (Taiwan)
The 85-1438 was still wearing full FM titles (incl. AFRC) and markings, although the scramble
data base says it belongs to the 162 W AZ ANG. The same for 85-1509/DC, 86-0043/AC,
86-0051/CO, 86-0243/WI, 86-0363/CO, 87-0365/SA.
I don’t know if all other F-16’s with ``strange`` tail codes also belong to the 162 W. That’s
why I didn’t wrote a Squadron or Wing. Help is welcome.
The next difficulty is F-16C/CM or D/DM. I took the sub-types only from the scramble data base
although other sources says something else.

14 xCF-188 and 1 x CC-130J were seen during last weekend (Not by me)
No idea or they are still in town
I can confirm 18x CF-188, 1x CC-130H, 2x CC-150, 1x CC-144.
The Hornets are on deployment to DM. It looks like 4 Wing switched with 3 Wing over the weekend. All Hornets collected at Tucson for the swap, three more stayed leftover at DM, making 21x total in the Tucson area. The 3 Wing machines should have been flown over to DM by yesterday while the 4 Wing machines should've left back to Canada.
