Thorough investigating my pictures, I would say that the serial is indeed 163768.
Why is that serial located at the stabilizer positioning during landing?
Now due mirroring effects of the stabilizer it looked like a 9 at the end.
Thanks The DJ, I will update my log.

Nice to meet you Piet!

FYI you happened to be there for a very good day. They are not all like that! lol

Hi Ztex,

Will visit Fort Worth somewhere next month. Is there somewhat of a tendency in low frequency days?

Many thanks and best regards,

Arjan,

It is difficult to give an accurate answer to your question.

It does seem that Friday's are typically the busiest days.
Lockheed does not tend to fly on weekends.
I am not at the field often enough to decipher a monthly type cycle.

Enjoy your visit!

Hi Zane,

Okay thanks. Will certainly give it a try on a friday then. But do they fly in weekends as well?

Best regards,

EA-6B 155908/NJ-907 sounds too low for a EA-6B.Maybe 159908?.In fact this jet,159908 was in the static here a few weeks ago.

C-9B 266 is the based VR-46 example 161266.
