while on family holidays recently in the Florida Keys, I made a few stops at NAS Key West. Unfortunately, Key West is a difficult airbase from the outside, unless runway 32 is used for landing, as the only spotting location from outside is near the landing of that runway. Of course, they used 32 the day BEFORE I arrived, but not anymore on the three days that I went there.
.Flying from runway 08 meant that I had to do with jets flying righthand break patterns over my head, hoping I would get some shots and BuNo's from the spot near runway 32. This is what I saw during three early morning visits on thu 11/fri 12/sat 13 february:

All the mentioned BuNo's were read from pictures, serials between brackets are assumed. Of course I am more than interested in filling in the gaps. Already checked the Scramble database, but I haven't put those serials here. For each day, I only mentioned the additional serials.
Best regards,
Bas
