Savannah/KSAV Mil 2017

Just wrapping up the Sentry exercise, two extra T38s were noted at the end (both TY yl)
68-8186
68-8204

Alaska ANG KC135R 63-8043 was flying from Hunter.

The exercise ended July 28th, although the Hornets departed the day before supported by C40A 165832 (serial from SBS not read)

T38 62-3715 finally came out of the hangar it had been in for most of the exercise and departed August 4th
F22 02-4036 was left behind and was noted on the ramp August 8th and I presume has since departed

[foc1]

Noted here today passing through headed south were the following MH60Rs from HSM-70 all coded AJ
167063/700
168125/701
168132/704
166547/705
166552/706
167064/707
168131/710
166537/711
168123/712

Some VMFA-115 F18s noted as "Blade 21/22/23/24"
162884/DC-24 (presumably on loan)
163171/VE-204
163161/VE-203
163124/VE-207

Two more from VMFA-251 that I didn't read arrived as "T-Bolt 51/52"

C17A 06-6155 wt/bk 60AMW landed as "Grizzly 08"

A pair of 325FW "TY" T38s came in
62-3715 yl/bk
68-8177 yl/bk

Probably crew ferry for another F22 that was left behind
04-4034 TY which I did not note during the exercise

Finally, four TAW-5 TH57s landed but I didn't have time to go back to read them, will hopefully get them over the weekend.

[fire28]

Is there any place to photograph the planes landing/ on the ground at SAV?

[foc1]

The T-Bolts and TH57s had left by this afternoon, but there were five F/A-18Fs on the CRTC/ADC ramp. Too hazy to read BuNos, codes are:

VFA-103
AG-200 black/yellow tail
AG-204
AG-205
AG-214

VFA-106
AD-262

Will hopefully catch them flying this week

[foc1]

Managed to read
168887/AG-204
168888/AG-205
168487/AG-214
168889/AD-262

AG-212 has also arrived but up until Wednesday I had not seen that or AG-200 fly

[raameagle]

AG212 - 168485?
