From photos on the Nellis Spotters FB page the other T-38s are 63-118 and 70-954. From a December 2021 photo on Jet Photos the one marked 12FTW should be 66-8358.

Updated with this perfectly slight correction.

[747woody]

There are at least two DM coded HH-60Gs, parked furthest from the Pavehawk ramp. Guess they could be RF players. One is 26777.

[747woody]

There are also an extra four MO F-15Es on the ramp, but parked away from the RF players. They include 92-0366/366FW the other three are from the 391st FS.

It looked like six extras arrived yesterday, but I heard something get a clearance to KMUO (Mountain Home), so guess something left! They was a total of 16 MOs on the ramp on Saturday morning: 12 Thunderbolts including the 366 OG jet, plus 4 Bold Tigers including the 366 FW jet.

Edit 1: From the back of the camera the others look to be: 90-0240, 90-0253,91-0330

Edit 2: got the two command jets the wrong way round, now corrected.

tx! updated overview.

[747woody]

Piet, your list has MO F-15E 88-1705/389FS listed twice.

There was no sign of an FT HC-130J from Wednesday onwards.

[747woody]

Think the T-38s left on Friday. They didn’t fly on Thursday, but it was very windy, and they weren’t on the ramp on Saturday morning.

[Piet Luijken]

corrected! tx!

[747woody]

Also arriving on Friday afternoon (but probably not Red Flag related) were five VFA-83 F/A-18Es: AC200, 202, 203, 205, 210

They weren’t on the ramp on Saturday morning so guess (I didn’t check) that they are in the revetments?

[747woody]

The Saudi F-15SAs carry their FMS serial on the left hand intake.

WS01 looks to be 12-1062.

[747woody]

Got the two MO 366th Commander jets the wrong way round, corrected above.

WS05 is 12-1035
