Re: NAS North Island KNZY 2024
17 April
Binocular report:
100% sure: 4xA-10C landing rwy 29
1 had DM tail + SE Asia legacy camo
<100% sure: maybe 1 or 2 DP tails, maybe 1-2 dark grey/black overall
Somebody else will have to figure out the numbers, leaving on a trip tomorrow.

Re: NAS North Island KNZY 2024
After the fuel dock Boxer went to NASNI for a few hours, possibly having an Osprey craned off. She left the same day.
Nimitz + Tripoli came in today, as did VFA-27 Royal Maces, late of MCAS Iwakuni. Guess Reagan will be here soon.

Re: NAS North Island KNZY 2024
Nice catch on those NF's! Hope you got some good shots.
I'm told VFA-102 dropped in too and VFA-115 arrived at Lemoore last week to trade in their jets for 35s.

Re: NAS North Island KNZY 2024
Oh, I don't for one instant think I've caught everything coming in. There's only so many hours I can spend at the beach, and I miss a much as I catch. Last week there were Growlers, E-2s and F-35s that I only viewed from the living room window. On the scanner I heard Vikings, so I'm guessing that was VAQ-129. The F-35s came in during dinner, and I found out later they were VMFA-311 doing a flyover of a local sporting event (transponder on during the flight apparently).
I may have caught VFA-102 thru binoculars. There was a tail that looked like VFA-86, but it mightve been 102.

VFA-86 are transitioning to the F-35C, so you saw VFA-102 jets off Reagan before she docked
