Cool. They came through NAS Fort Worth JRB on the way there I guess. They left JRB on Thursday to Albuquerque. A total of 19 came through.

Write off, eh? I went and rechecked my pix-- yep, 255/BUNO 163655. I'll be posting pictures once I know they've gone home.

The first batch of numbers was from their arrival Thursday, but I knew then I'd missed some of the jets. Been out the last 2 days and I have more numbers, but I still don't know if I have them all. They were flying 0800-1800 Sat and Sun, and started at 0800 this morning.

These are all new numbers:

TW1/ VT-7 NAS Meridian

105 -- came in right on top of me, no BUNO as of yet
194/BUNO 167092 EDITED
137/BUNO 165480
157/BUNO 165599
102/BUNO 165081

TW2/ 'B' tails NAS Kingsville

215/BUNO 163615 EDITED
203/BUNO 167080
225/BUNO 163625
240/BUNO 167088
202/BUNO 163602 EDITED

Nice report. I do like T-45s. A couple of queries though please.
I think B215 is 163615?
Can you check the BuNo for B202? 163202 was a TAV-8B before it was written off.
Regards
Mark
