REQ: AMARG Central Process/Maintenance Areas, Sun 11 March

[David Moore]

Hi All,

I have put off making this request for ages, as it seems so cheeky to pose such a big question. However, I will never find out unless I ask, so here goes.

On Sunday 11/03/2018 I made my first, possibly only, overflight of DM. Although our flight was the last of the day, & brief & high ☹ , by counting the aircraft in each area, & working with the February & March inventories, I reckon I can account for most of what I saw.

However, the central process or maintenance areas are a different problem as I saw many more aircraft than are listed on the inventories.

The February one lists a total of 31 aircraft (9 x AH-1W, 2 x EA-6B, 10 x F-16C, 10 x F/A-18C) in these areas

The March one lists a total of 41 aircraft here (9 x AH-1W, 1 x C-20G, 1 x C-130H, 1 x HC-130N, 2 x EA-6B, 14 x F-16C, 1 x F/A-18A, 11 x F/A-18C, 1 x UH-1Y* (*this arrived after our visit))

However on 11/03/2018 I counted a total of 70 in these areas (1 x A-10, 1 x C-20, 2 x C-130, 2 x EA-6B, 41 x F-16, 11 x F-18, 10 x AH-1, 2 x T-1A). (Detailed locations below) Many more (especially F-16’s) than I can match to either inventory ☹

Can anyone help me identify some, or all, of these aircraft or suggest a way that I could, please? Thanks very much for any assistance!

Someone was kind enough to send me a photo from which I could identify many of my queries so I updated the original post. I would still love to be able to find out more serials though.

Thank you
