I'm reliably informed that even though N194NT was painted up in TPS colours, it is actually a Leonardo demostrator.

H-72A 168247 carried 'H-72A' on the tail. No 'U' or even a 'T' in front.

Thanks for the log. After risking my life asking a police officer whether I could photograph some of the gate guards (he reached for his revolver as soon as I started approaching him) and getting a barked 'no', I couldn't be bothered writing down the serials of the stored KC-130Ts.

I would add the ex-USFS BT-67 N115U (opb Aviation Systems Engineering Company (ASEC Inc)) to the log, though. It is the former C-47B 44-77235 and RAF KP265, and is currently operated by a company that does military and government contract work.

I won't offend anyone's sensibilities by listing the fully civilian a/c.
