S-70 MH-60S 168578 VR-70 United States of America USNavy HSC-21 act HSC-21 Blackjacks CAG c/s
Does not carry 'VR'
I have to correct my own correction: taking a second look at a picture I took up close it does show the VR tailcode, small and in yellow.

Thanks mm12bva, I was there on the 28/09 and will post my sightings from the north bay cruise as soon as I sort through my photos. Regrettably it was quite a misty day during the cruise. The C-17 66159 was there on this date and I observed two C-17's there on the 29th around 18:00, but no serials obtained.

Monday 24/09/2018
We started our day at the Cabrillo National Monument to get an over view of the field, more views will show up here https://www.flickr.com/photos/52287882@ ... 2052264634 over the coming weeks but for now can any one confirm any of the F-18s in this picture

https://www.flickr.com/photos/52287882@N05/31346444668

the near one by fire station I assume is 164700 ?

then there are 4 F-18F parked on the ramp behind the C-2s and then another "deck Trainer" on board CVN-70 USS Carl Vinson

I will take the 2 Lear Jets also if anyone knows them

The C-40 is 165831 and Metro Liners N27442,N175SW departed

Thanks for the log.
In this picture : https://flic.kr/p/299gCcU you can see the remains of a crashed MV-22B (168634). Just left of the small “carport” like shed in the middle/right.
A bit difficult to see from this angle but when on the boat it should have been easier to recognize.

You might have noticed on https://flic.kr/p/PKYHUy besides the grey Hornet at the firestation, there is another one with a black tail between the parked cars, id unknown unfortunately.

Cheers,
