Also noted active:

And AP-1, L-001, AP-2, L-002, AP-5, L-005, and AP-6, L-006 as "Hammer 1,4". These arrived at NAS Fort Worth and are speculated to be on their way to Denmark to supplement their fleet and use newer TR3 jets for training at Luke.

And AU-71 performed a test flight. During the RTB they discussed delivery so I imagine it will deliver to Nellis imminently.
