LOG 30 JAN 2024

After landing at Las Vegas IAP, we picked up our brand new Dodge Ram 1500 ( 5 miles on the teller ) and drove to the Speedway.
According ATIS, Nellis AFB used 21 for visual landings, however all aircraft landed at 03.
As 4 A-10Cs were at the holding point, we decided to stay and wait for the flex departure of the Warthogs.
Also all four B-2As had their lights on so we expected them to depart as well.
The A-10Cs departed in the best light, however three B-2As departed only after sunset, together with the RC-135.

You might want to check your E-3s. 80-0137 swapped for 78-0577 (as mentioned above somewhere!) and 78-0577 was still there on the 31st with 82-0006.

This morning before we left, we started early for the regular serial spotting tour from the east side. Thereafter we moved to the Speedway to see what this dreary cloudy drizzly day would bring. Well, not al lot so we left early. * means it flew.

The 66th RQS are no more, hence the lack of HH-60Gs It's just the 34th WPS and 88th TES now:

Visited Nellis on Sunday 14 January.

2 CV-22s were parked somewhere between the A-10s and the AV F-16s.

Anyone know which 2 these were?

0040 and 0074 were seen there in early January left over from WSINT.

Thx, that must be them then (since they were still grounded at that time AFAIK).

Rgds,
