NAS North Island 2013

Post by marcel32us »

Hi All,

Visited North Island on May 16th, and saw a lot of F-18's in the storage area, and a few flying too. Below is a list of my sightings, but a lot need BuNo's with it. Anyone who can help?

The underlined info was not read by myself, the rest was, from photo's.

Thanks a lot in advance!!

Marcel

Spent two hours (5-7 PM) at Coronado Beach on May 14, 2014. Almost had no time to swim in the ocean.
What I could decipher form the slides so far:
H60 variants: 166535/TS-415, -110 of HSC-49, TS-415, '30', -617 of HSC-3.
EF-18: NJ-514 (full color mks) and another.
C20: 152
MC130: FT 717
still to come 3 F5s from Yuma and a C2.
The day before I had a lucky strike with unmarked E2 165822.
