The IQAF1615 has a large black panther on its tail. I noted it at Tucson on the 29th. Two fellow spotters noted the IQAF1635 and IQAF1636 at DM on the snowbird ramp the same day.BasS wrote:Davis-Monthan AFB 17/07/2018
Visitors:
F-16C 1615? 152nd FS Arizona ANG
If anyone can confirm the Iraqi F-16 I'd be grateful.
Best regards,
Bas

Hi,Starman wrote:Those two fellows also spotted a pair of dark camo AH-1s on the arrivals ramp on Sun 29th, reportedly Pakistani? And 5 x "XL" coded T-1As which are there for repairs following a severe hailstorm down Del Rio way. Any help with the serials much appreciated!
One of the dark AH-1's was 786-068, I've seen the other serial mentioned somewhere but cannot confrim it from my photo's. Jayhawks I noted on the 28th and 29th were 92-0352/XL, 93-0636/XL and one marked 96 FTS/XL. Two of them had their complete upper fuselage replaced.Starman wrote:Those two fellows also spotted a pair of dark camo AH-1s on the arrivals ramp on Sun 29th, reportedly Pakistani?

while you were conveniently overflying the facility, we were sweating along the fence to get some numbers....
92-0352/XL and 93-0636/XL are two of the T-1s I see on my pictures taken that same morning. Unfortunately I cannot read the two under the sheds (+ one parked next to it) from my aerial photo's taken the day before.
The Pakistani AH-1Z's are 786-067 and 786-068
Cheers, Hans

Yes, Those are the ones I need confirmation on.Starman wrote:Vipers by Starman, on Flickr
Hi Tally, do you mean this lot?
The four to the left are 82-997, 82-(1)014, AZ227 & LF122, just out of shot and at 90 degrees to these are AZ933 and AC470. Another pair nearby are LFs 386 & 271 but they are white/blue, 62FS.
In the centre by 96FTS are DC476 and what looks like your 568, and the two under the sun-sheds are an AZ and an ex-AMI a/c.
An LF possibly with a red band but very heavily spraylatted is parked by an AMI a/c coded 37, I'll need to recheck the photos from the bus for that.
