Firstly a couple of corrections to the Blue Angels listed above (both taken from photos) :

No 2 was 163768
The top No 7 was 161723

I have two further F-18 queries from the sunshelter area visible from the southern end of the static:
AC-101 and ??-112.

I would also be grateful for any serial confirmations from the mass of F-18s parked to the north of the car parks. On the way out, we met Piet (?) from Denmark who had gained access to the first few rows at least before having to leave so if you are out there Piet................

The November edition of MAR should fill most of the gaps in your log for Lemoore Show for Saturday morning. China Lake Show should feature in the December magazine.

[p51cjb]

Thanks for the MAR info but I'm afraid it's not one of the mags to which I subscribe, so if anyone can help via other means, that would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

If anyone has any comments I would appreciate any.

Some small remarks on the Hangar occupents.
NJ-153 was in No.2, not in 1 (dubble mentioned).
We are fairly sure we noted NJ-446 instead of NJ-455 in Hangar 1. If my logging is correct, it was between
NJ-174 and NJ-222.
NJ-444 was in No.1, not in 2.
We logged NJ-203 in hangar 1 instead of NJ-201.

Is there anyone who can confirm or correct the above?

Regards,
Charles

[raameagle]

Charles et all,

Correct, NJ153 was in Hgr2.
NJ446 and NJ455 were both in Hgr1.
NJ444 was also in Hgr1, as was NJ203.
NJ201 was in the rework hangar near the 'flying' aircraft.
Regards

Mark
