And AP-1, L-001, AP-2, L-002, AP-5, L-005, and AP-6, L-006 as "Hammer 1,4". These arrived at NAS Fort Worth and are speculated to be on their way to Denmark to supplement their fleet and use newer TR3 jets for training at Luke.

068 has flown the 5th and 6th at Nellis with Operational Test (OT) tailed F35’s. Using the callsign SHOCK01.

Also worth mentioning, the LN tail’d TR3’s are playing as aggressors flying for the 706th Aggressor Squadron.

On this date Dec 10, 2024.

BF-168, 170567 delivered to MCAS Beaufort as Hawk 11.
And ASY1268 flew as well. Unfortunately, I am not aware if that was a delivery or not or which Aussie that was.
And from what I could tell a first flight for AP-17, L-017.

They must have left real early.

And the following happened on December 11, 2024.
AU-67, A35-067 delivered to Nellis as "Aussy 1266."
AF-454, 22-5791/TX delivered to NAS Fort Worth as "Mustang 11."

And first flights for:
AF-455, 22-5792/TX
BF-170, 170569 (nmks).

And AY-07 started its official government acceptance flight today. Shouldn't be long before she will fly off to Luke.
