The two UH60s departed to the Savannah port yesterday so I ran down there today to see if there were any more and sure enough there were twelve parked up. Unfortunately due to how they were parked and other stuff around them I could not read any of the others.

Yellow stripes would indicate these Black Hawks are likely destined for Seognam/Seoul AB to replace their current L model Blackhawks.

Both of the stored C130s that have been parked here 57-0477 and the former PR ANG C130H 65-0984 have disappeared in the past few of weeks. Presumably scrapped? I'm sure they were there in early July but the first time I noticed them gone was last week

The SJs went home on Wednesday. 89-0476 actually had a green fin stripe.

Most of the based C130s flew up to Marietta over the past couple of days

King Air 200T N130RL stopped for gas at lunchtime in basic Japan MSA scheme it was accompanied by N150RL which was white. Looks like they arrived from and returned to St Mary's Regional, MD (2W6)

VMFA-115 F/A18A++ 163168/VE-01 arrived as Blade 21. US flag tail markings
