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.
You are a bit off with your TB's:
91-0362/4 F-16C TB
91-0392/5 F-16C TB
92-3896/6 F-16C TB
Number 2 did not carry its serial at the usual place.
And the 2 uncoded ones were indeed:
93-0553 F-16C TB
91-0470 F-16D TB
For the benefit of Mr. Kite, there will be a show tonight on trampoline

F-16CM ? 2 CC-188 AF USAF ADS act 'Thunderbirds'-c/s United States
Hello,
I know it is a while ago, but for what it is worth, the unknown Thunderbird 2 at the NAS Point Mugu Air Show SHOULD be 92-3881.
I saw 92-3881 at Nellis on 10.02.2023, flying with "881" instead of a code. The names of the mechanics (which according to a theorie which worked the last decade are fixed during their season) are the same as on TB 2 at the Point Mugu Air show.
They're also the same on 91-0362/4; 91-0392/5; 92-3880/1; 92-3882/3; 92-3896/6. I didn't get 91-0470 or 93-0553 at Point Mugu.
Hope that helps.
Happy spotting Cujo
