Hi Iroquois,

No not exactly, the pics are from the official Sirpa-air site but i think some are from St.Dizier during the first missions on Saturday 19th and some at Solenzara.

A little bit more info for VMM-266

MV-22B 166745
MV-22B 165959
AH-1W 164587

One MV-22B has a modex of 01.

The RDAF has only six F-16's at Sigonella.

The two AC-130's repositioned to Lakenheath and departed for Sigonella today. About the DanishAF F-16's at Sig, there only 6 of them not 11.

Some Aviano photo's revealed two more LN Eagles, 96-0205/LN and 98-0131/LN. Also a photo of Growler NL542, so my guess is that the other two are NL540 and NL544. VAQ-132 has just 5 birds.

Another Rafale on photo is /113-IU

Btw: your list shows up at several forums around the world! Some with Scramble's credit, some not....
