A small update given that many people will be over next month.
Note that they are effectively split into two fleets, at Edinburg/Laredo TX, and the "west" fleet which uses Las Cruces, Tucson, Yuma and Pine Valley. There is often movement of operating bases within these fleets.

72276 switched over to Yuma, 72286 over to Pine Valley in return.

[AndyMarden]

72054 (Edinburg TX) is also deployed.

[Piet Luijken]

11-72188 flew back home via Waco TSTC on 3 october 2024.

Markings indicated VI ArNG which could explain the onboard airco

However crew were from det 1 C/1-224 AVN and they were bringing this Lakota home to Massachusetts on their 5 day trip.
They had a TDY of 1 year! The crewchief was now back to returning to his job as fire fighter.
