Nellis AFB (KLSV/LSV) MIL - Red Flag 24-2 overview

[747woody]

I think we now have all of the participants identified but there were several visitors before and during the exercise that may have been related:

March 6th: F18F XE-433 as Vampire 21
March 7th: F35 as Vampire 95
March 13th: F18 as Strike 91

Did anyone manage to identify these?

STRIKE 91 on 13/3 was an NSAWC EA-18G, possibly 503? (very hazy, distant photo)

I also caught T-34C 160472/SH VMFAT-101 landing on 12/3

Strike 91 was 503 but turned in too tight to read serial. Not sure they change much though.

Cheers, David

Did you see a pair of F35s arrive around 11:30? Callsign was Propane 11/12 if I heard right

Hi,

In the overview

"56th FW "LF" F-35A
12-5057, 13-5061, 13-5069, 13-5075"

is 13-5061 correct, please? 12-5061 went to the RAAF, I believe.

Thanks!

David

According to the data base there's only one -5061 and it went to Australia, so presumably a misspole.

However there is a -5075 last noted with the 308th. I didn't see it though, have photos of the other six listed, all 308th FS.
