Nice log there!

Definitely NE602 for 169865? This was reported as NE601 in November?

Visible from the static.

[wamovements]

Great list Jurgen

I can confirm the following (some additional) aircraft, all seen behind the control tower
H-65 San Francisco Det Point Mugu
6531 (not visible form static)
6538 (also flew)

NP-3D
150521/341 (tail visible from static)

P-3C
160293/301 (tail not visible from static)
163291/304 (tail visible from static)

The H-65 on static had a badge from det. Point Mugu, but wasn't attached to this detachment during the airshow.

From the the carpark preserved E-2C 161097/NK-600 could be seen.

[jurgen]

I have listed this one:
F-16CM 93-0532 4 CC-167 AF USAF ADS act 'Thunderbirds'-c/s United States

But it was also present as a Shaw at Nellis the same week, so highly unlikely.
I do have it as 0532 in my notes (read off from the ejection seat), so any suggestions as to which one it really is are appreciated.

[747woody]

This one?

https://flic.kr/p/2oizb4r

Both 5s are written upside down.

[jurgen]

Thanks for thinking with me, but I had read this one as the unmarked one.
