One of the last afternoon recoveries on 5thFeb was MO F-15E 90-0255 (escorted by 90-0242) which came back with, I guess, some sort of hydraulic problem and took the cable. 87-0170 also noted that day, whilst 236 was not.
Apart from the two HH-60s mentioned above, we noted 14501, 14502, 1451(5) & 14523 plus one that day, any offers for our missing machine?
Visiting early on the 5th was UC-12F 163559 up from Yuma, whilst arriving that day was KC-46A 56070 which parked south side, and currently (Monday) showing on ADSB as one of six KC-46s involved (plus some KC-135Rs).

The RAF, RAAF, Mountain Home, and Louisiana components of RF have stayed at Nellis.

Half of Shaw went to March ARB, apparently the other half is at China Lake. AK F-35’s from the Green Demons are at NAS Lemoore, for the participation in Bamboo Eagle 25-1.

Last week, Wednesday anyway, the Red Flag mission was relatively short, the only tanker noted being the RAF Voyager. Up early this morning however are seven KC-46s, some apparently flying from Sacramento/Mather. Noted on ADSB were; Gulf74/46022, Gulf75/46025, Gulf76 46074, Gulf 90 46070 (from Nellis), Brass71 46021, Brass72 46086 & Brass74 46087.

Hi Starman, was this not the 4th February? Only asking as I saw 90-0255 returning with the hook down and saw the 2 HH-60s return after the recovery but I didn't get the serials. Thanks in anticipation.

It could very well've been the 4th. We shot the HH-60s but I'm not at home right now to check images.

Any offers for the WA coded HH-60 in the sun shade at the southern end of the ramps?
We noticed it on 6.2. The tiny bit of the serial we could make out between the sun-shade frame and shading suggested it could have been something like '26111'.
Thanks Freeman & Brian

No but it's been there for a while so it's either waiting to be put on display or is awaiting transportation elsewhere, AMARG perhaps.
