Erik,

The KY ANG is currently in the process of or just finished receiving the C-130J-30. These are not new build aircraft, but they get them via other units.

May 25, 2023:
AF-383, 22-5683/LN, 48 FW, 493 FS.
AF-386, 22-5686/HL, 388 FW, 4 FS.
For both these first flights was probably May 23 or 24th, 2023.

Tally.
Does this indicate that Lot 14 is FY20 and Lot 15 is FY22?
How about FY21?

Re: Andravida - Iniochos 2023 spotters day 26-4

The Indian Air Force Su-30MKI-3 were from 222sq at Thanjavur AFS.
Still a pitty that Indian military aircraft do not carry unit markings.
