Red Flags Nellis in 2012

[ATCManch]

Thanks for your reply

It must have been the angle I was at and looking through the Agressor shelters that made it look like there were three P3s. Thanks for the final E-2 reg and HH-60s - an additional HH-60 for you is 92-26463

What time did the F-5s and C-26 depart on the 14th?

Hi Tony,

If there actually was a C-26, it must have departed between 06:15 and 10:00 (I was shoppig for shorts, hence the late arrival). The F-5s departed in the morning, from 21R, turning right showing only their undersides. One of them seemed to be coded '09'... Callsigns were "SNIPER21" and "SNIPER22".

[ATCManch]

I got there around 0845 and don't recall seeing a C26 anywhere so it must have gone before then

I've gone through all my pics and can't see any F5s either so they must have departed just before I got there

91-0509 arrived on the 13th and departed first thing on the 14th.

If anyone is able to tie up the following:
Two VMFT-401 F-5s departing to Yuma on the 14th of March;
A USNavy C-26 seen in the morning of the 14th of March;
the lone VFA-32 F/A-18F arriving on the 16th of March;
...and the three VEGAS flights (2 flights of Raptors and a singleton HH-60) returing to Nellis (from?) on Friday the 16th?

Thanks!

Pjotrtje,
I have the F-5's arriving on the 13th as;
761576/ LS-08 VMFT-401
761578/ LS-09 VMFT-401

Both taken from digi

91-0509 arrived on the 13th and departed first thing on the 14th.

Mark,
I actually have a white C-26 standing on the platform late afternoon of the 12th. Are we still
talking about the same frame?

Charles,

I can't confirm that it was there on the 12th I'm afraid as it was a friend of mine who saw it on the 13th and 14th.

I've just discovered a photo of a VMFA-122 F18 coded DC-05. Any ideas on this one?

Many thanks

I've now uploaded a video I took during the media day http://www.rogdabbit.co.uk/Videos.html

I think its worth the 10 minute download, but then I would

I have a B2 query now for March14th

The logs I have found have the following B2s
82-1066
89-0129
93-1086

However I have 90-0041 photographed along with 82-1066 so there must have been a frame swap at some stage. Any ideas on which one had departed?

90-0041 replaced 89-0129 mid flag

For those still doubting Whether to go or not to Nellis, flighttimes are to be great with takeoffs between 1500-1600 LT and recoveries between 1700-1830, winds from the south should have them taking off over Cheyenne and landing over the speedway, Especially with the colombians staying pretty low because of their lack of power.
