Excellent and very interesting stuff!
One question though, the units, especially the army units, how do you ascertain that they are correct?
For example, the Lakota fleet is very fluid at this point in time and I suspect that the Yakima AAD (WA state) Lakota that features in your log is in fact operating from Fort Rucker nowadays? It is a long way from home otherwise.
Anyway, it would be awesome if we could somehow get to grips with those army choppers unit-wise...
Redstone is responsible for every aircraft in the Army fleet,there are also contractors in Huntsville area that do everything on all the aircraft,so it it not uncommon for lots of different aircraft and units to be represented on any one day they may stay a day or two after maintanence or upgrades to equipment,also one of the UH-72A training courses is taught at one of smaller local airfields which houses some of the other Army stuff in the area.
