F-15Cs and F-22s have been rotating to 380th AEW recently. The Barnes unit should replace the 44th EFS from Kadena.

Actually they arrived the 5th and totalled 12:

1st group:
/MA 104th co a/c (s/n not read off)
82-010/JZ,
84-017/JZ (should be fy82?),
84-013/MA,
84-016/MA,
85-118/MA.

2nd group:
84-022/JZ,
83-041/JZ,
83-036/JZ,
82-037/JZ,
84-023/MA,
86-158/MA.

They were still on the deck by 1030 on Friday the 6th and were also visible from our outbound flight from Seville aroind 1330-ish.
All had their canopies open, so they probably left Friday.
Two tankers on the 5th were KC-10 91712 McGuire and KC-135 23498 McConnell.

Just came here to read off some Eurofighters when this lot dropped in! Above are the fiscals we read off, there are one or two conflicts with dbases but the Eagle community has moved around quite a bit. So any comments welcome!

SD,

Do you know which eight 421FS jets returned please?

AFAIK, the other six HL F-16s are still in the Middle East, probably on exercise.

These were 169FW F-16s out of McEntire, SC enroute to Afghanistan. Mazda 23 and Mazda 24 didn't make it all the way to Moron, they diverted to Otis ANGB this morning.

Hope this helps,


RH.

I know for certain that it was fourteen F-16s that arrived yesterday. Four others diverted on the east coast of the USA due to engine problems.
