Hi

I stoppet at Nellis on the morning of 13 october and noticed a E3 Sentry with OK on tail. Did you get the serial ?

furthermore i saw only 5 USN F18's parked together. Do you know with ones ?

I addition i was at San Diego on the 4. october and saw a grey SH-60 with partial USCG colors lift of from North Island
It might be a special centennial one

Regards Peter - Denmark

The E-3 should be the 83-0008 which made an unsuccesful landing a few year ago and is under repair or is wfu.

The 5 Hornets should be 164650/VK-14, 164667/VK-07, 164705/VK-15, 164882/VK-16 and 165530/VK-00. The VK-03 wasn't on the flightline at the time we were at Cheyenne ave.
