The above two AH-64s have now been joined by 3 more and an H-60. 2 more H-60s were in sea transit rap nearby and at least one more being worked on in the hangar.

(03-05352) 52A AH-64D
03-05406 06A AH-64D
............. AH-64D

(87-000)75 CH-47D was seen stored on the Army ramp. Active - (20)304 HH-60M was also seen along with USCG MH-65D 6517.

There was a group of 7 stored FA-18s next to one of the large hangars. These included codes only, SH-122, NG-302 (see above?), and AD-335.
Next to these was a compound with an FA-18A fuselage with VFA-204 markings. I have been told this should be 163165.

WS-415 = 165216 (seen Aug17, 2019, KVQQ)

[The DJ]

WS-415 = 165216 (seen Aug17, 2019, KVQQ)

Was this read off or assumed?

On Nov 3rd WS415 was read off as 164638.

[pjotrtje]

I can't see in the log whether the BuNo was deducted or acually read. I do know that it was second in the row and therefore, the BuNo should have been readable. 164638 is kinda weird as it would have been with VMFA-323 only for three months and then sent to Cecil?

Three months? Where do you get that from?

165216 was seen active as WS-415 in March 2019.

[Pilot008]

Is there any good places there to spot the aircraft flying? or even static.

Thanks
