NELLIS AFB (LSV/KLSV) - 2024

[Piet Luijken]

Two flights of 6 F-16Cs of 480FS each are indeed inbound.

[cxa849]

On dreamlandresort.com the dates for 24-3 have been changed to 7/22-8/2, a week later than what they had up there…

Presidential TFRs will be active from Mon 7/15 1645L PDT to Wed 7/17 1659L PDT over Vegas covering Nellis AFB, as well as a corner of R-4806W & Desert MOA. it’s why they postponed it if the original dates from dreamland resort were correct presumably?

Dreamland's information has been extremely unreliable after the FBI raid, and he lost his contacts at Nellis so it wouldn't surprise me if he was going off of someone else's rumor or speculation without getting actual confirmation from someone on the inside.

It's also why you don't see exercise participants updated until they arrive -- because he doesn't actually know who's going and feeds off of other peoples emails that hear or see hints/tips/intel on participants attending.

8 x EA18G
8 x DC F35B
9 x WH F35B
14 x SJ F15E
5 x EL B1B

The F16s were in the revetments and impossible to count.

Couple of the locals peaked interest - would be nice if someone can help.
706 AGRS have an F16 TX tail code with 301FW - looks like ends in 743. Also on their ramp was an FM tail code that looked like 232 - is this 86-0232? (554 was there also still as FM)

Here's what I have noted this week. Those in ( ) were reported elsewhere but not read by myself
I believe the report of 4078/FF above is a typo for 4076

Who know the identity of this F-15?
I photographed this one on September 1th in the early morning.
It is a F-15E in grey colours so I thirst thought it is a F-15EX but the serial doesn't fit.
To me it ends as 060 but 050 could also be possible.
Hope someone can help me out with this one.

Theo
