Any (half decent) pics of the Paki Zulus?
Should indeed be 786-067/068, factory fresh.

Enough to get the numbers but thats about it. When I flew overhead it was bumpy as heck.

[quote="Starman]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.[/quote]

The AMI one is 81-0772 (ex MM7241). Looking at my pics a little closer the LF Viper parked next to the AMI is 85-1427. At least that is my two cents.

Some very clear photos on this thread. Do anyone of you have pictures that might help identify the un-bagged F/A-18's in Area 15, please?

Thank you!

(With grateful thanks to Mr Hornet for the id's of the 2 C models I can answer my own question completely now).

A colleague who flew over DM on the same date (11.03.18) as me can read these codes from the 6 un-bagged F/A-18's in Area 15 (BuNos in brackets taken from the inventory):

F/A-18A (162894)/46 (sand camo)
F/A-18B (162850)/SH-
F/A-18B (163104)/SH-
F/A-18C (164243)/AG-314
F/A-18C (164629)/AD-342
F/A-18D (164228)/AD-

A partial reply to my own question. A colleague who flew over DM on the same date (11.03.18) as me can read these codes from the 6 un-bagged F/A-18's in Area 15 (BuNos in brackets taken from the inventory):

F/A-18A (162894)/46 (sand camo)
F/A-18B (162850)/SH-
F/A-18B (163104)/SH-
F/A-18D (164228)/AD-

plus 2 single seaters coded AD-342 (I presume from VFA-106) plus in VFA-83 marks one coded AG-314

Can anyone supply identities for AD-342 or AG-314, please?

Thanks for any help!

I see three Duals and three Singles. Out of the three Singles I see a brown camo, a grey camo, and a std grey c/s. The Grey Camo is most likely a River Rattler VFA-204 and should be coded AF-4XX. There are four of those at AMARG but none in Area 15 too my knowledge.

So the saga continuous. Sorry.

Thank you Tally. My query is sorted now, see above.

The first two were 786-067 and 786-068. Can't help you with the third I'm afraid...

In mid October there were eight visible, and believe there was a report shortly afterwards of nine!
