Hi EOR,
I will be @ Vegas for the coming 2 weeks, do you expect more travel to Nellis? Do you also know the normal operation times for this excersise and the last day?

best regards, Maarten

JFEX (used to be MAFEX) is pretty much a one day gig. over now.
Weapons School ME should/could be the next week and a half. been some rumors about it not happening. if it is, they historically fly days (start about 1000, all recovered by 1500) on Wednesday (5th), Sunday (9th), and Wednesday (12th). all other missions are in the dark.
No guarantees!

Hmm was there a week earlier and was hoping the excercise was that week.
While driving by on 23rd of may I noticed 3 B-1B's. Anyone for their numbers?
Visiting was C-17A 94-0068 from 445th AW.
Also read was HH-60G (87-26)013/FT.

helo is a local. guess I missed the Wright-Patt, as I left after the Bones launched
B-1s were greenflaggers, 2 of them must have been out when you went by. missions ran 1300ish to 1730ish, and then second go at 1830.
B-1 DY 9BS 85-0073/7OG, 86-0133
B-1 DY 28BS 85-0072, 86-0105, 86-0136
the 3 you must have seen would be 072, 105, and 136, as the other 2 went out at 1300
for pics, they are in my photostream just before the JEFX stuff. see flickr link below
the JEFX (MAFEX) has always been before Memorial day before. I thought it got cancelled after it didn't happen then, so I lucked out! I had gone up to see ME arrivals, which I didn't see. guess I'll find out about that tomorrow.
