Any gap fillers welcome of course, i.e. for 3rd BAe.125, B-1B and the 2 F-15K flying over with the B-1.

Not surprisingly the F-35As 14-5106 & 15-5131 HL are the first two to arrive in Kadena for their squadron holiday on Okinawa

[orange]

I think there were actually two B-1s but sofar managed to identify only one by its noseart: 86-0118/EL 'Dead Man's Hand'.

[orange]

And the second B-1 was 86-0094/EL 'Knight Hawk'. Also identified by its noseart.

[Mr AMARC]

Many thanks for the feedback, and sorry that the format of my post got lost after I looked at the preview. Now it does not look very clear, unfortunately.

About the B-1B(s) on 21.10.:
One did a flypast together with 2 F-15K, and a few minutes later a few B-1B solo passes followed. My assumption was that the F-15K's had left, and the same B-1B did all the fly-by's. If it was 2 different ones, fine.

Any clue for the 2 F-15Ks?

Best regards
Martin

No clue on the F-15Ks, too dark.

I can confirm:
CN235 30-081 (256 sqn mks)
HH-60P 01-772
UH-60Ls noted Wednesday: 760 (DMZ-stripes), 748, 754, 746, 612 and either 518 or 618. All last three in white. Also 266x8 flew that day with the x looking like a 3. Maybe the 4Aviation group can confirm some more serials, they were there Tuesday - Thursday I believe.

One F-15K (on the right side) was the 02-027 confirmed, the left one (I think) was 02-003

[Mr AMARC]

Thank you guys, the gaps in the list are closing.

About 256 Sqn, have they introduced a new version of their elephant sqn badge? 30-084 was wearing what I know for 256 Sqn, while most others were wearing a different badge with the elephant. New style?

For the F-15K my angle was too bad, just below, I am sure some people have been in a better position.

Evaluating my photos of the UH-60Ls did not give me more serials, but the situation on 21.10., all counting from left to right as seen from static area, was as follows (24 total):

1st line (6x UH-60, all nose towards runway):
__-_____
__-_____

2nd line (6x UH-60, rotor towards runway, partially behind 1st line, left to right again)
__-_____

(97-26)746 + what looked like code 11 in the windows
(97-26)755
__-_____ with code 12 in windows, with DMZ stripes
__-_____

3rd line (8x UH-60, nose to runway)
__-_____
__-_____ with code 62 in windows
__-_____
__-_____ with code 64 in windows
__-_____ with code 65 in windows
