[Kevin Brewer]

Thanks for your comprehensive report Richard. It's very much appreciated as it potentially fills a couple of gaps in my own.

I visited on 30th November between 09.00 - 12.30 and noted the following:

PC-21 codes 792-03 / 10 / 16 / 17 / 21 / 23, all showing 'Mirlo' callsigns on ADS-B.

NH-90TTH coded 803-20.
SH-60B coded 08 on the lower forward fuselage, plus another example unidentified. (None of the choppers showed up on ADS-B).

Falcon 900B T.19-1 / 45-40 arrived mid-morning as 'Lince 01'.

Noted overhead Murcia at high level were the following, serials courtesy of via ADS-B:
A.330 T.24-1 / 452-01, 'AME 4550'
C-17A 77169, 'RCH 214'

If anyone else visited on 30th November and confirm the identity of the second SH-60 I would be most grateful.

Kevin

There is an active community of plane spotters at San Javier. Try to find some of those on Instagram and although they typically are into photography only, they might be able to help sort you out. The Pilatus thingies always use callsign Mirlo for local flights. Normally 10+ are up so it seems things are quietening down there already.

Kevin,

Photographic proof by a Spanish Spotter says: SH-60F HT.23-14/ 01-1015/ 15.

Cheers,
Jan.
