Luke AFB show Sun 18th April - non-static only

[Fishbed_9307]

Hi Paul,
A few additions/remarks in bold below:

Read off by us were the following (note that most F-35 fiscal years were looked up)

56FW/nn : F-35A : LF/10-5009 LF/10-5010 OT/10-5011 LF/11-5036 LF/11-5037 LF/11-5038 LF/11-5040 LF/12-5049 LF/12-5054 LF/15-512063FS
LF/15-5123 LF/15-5125 LF/15-5127 LF/15-5129 LF/15-5135 flying LF/15-5161 LF/15-5164

56FW/21FS : F-16C : LF/93-0705 LF/93-0706 LF/93-0707 LF/93-0708 LF/93-0709
56FW/21FS: F-16D : LF/93-0816

I think there were two lines of Taiwanese?? Did we miss some? => I also read off 93-722. These are F-16A and B by the way AFAIK, not C and D

Thanks for the addition, you are right about the types of course.

56FW/310FS : F-16C : LF/87-0358 LF/87-0360944FG LF/88-0475 LF/88-0493 also flying LF/88-0508 => I have one as 944 FW, which I read of as 87-0xxx, not 344 FG, that's probably your 87-0360?

After checking my pictures again I can confirm 87-0360 as 944FW, not 944FG

LF/89-2056 LF/90-0705 also flying LF/90-0754 LF/90-0759 LF/90-0760
LF/90-0762 LF/90-0765
56FW/310FS : F-16D : LF/88-0161 LF/88-0162 LF/88-0163 LF/88-0175 LF/89-2156? LF/89-2159 LF/89-2164 LF/89-2179 LF/90-0778 => I don't have 2156, was this the last one in a row? I know I couldn't read off one of the 310 FS aircraft, and only noticed at home I never got a look from a different angle...
I do have 88-175/LF and 89-097/LF of 310 FS as well plus unmarked 87-358/LF which should also belong to 310 FS

I am going to delete 156. 358 is the first one listed. I also found 175 which was the first aircraft in the line!
where did you see 097 Patrick?

56FW/309FS : F-16C : LF/84-1216 LF/84-1284 LF/84-1302 LF/84-13_7? LF/85-1407 LF/85-1439 LF/85-1443 => I read off 84-1327/LF
56FS/309FS: F-16D : LF/83-1160 LF/83-1184 LF/84-1324 LF/84-1331
=> I also have 84-308 and 84-297 of 309 FS

I found 3_8 with the middle digit behind a pole and I also confirmed 297 from my pictures

Main ramp:

FF/08-4163 F-22A 1FW

56FW : F-35A : LF/09-5006 LF/11-503061FS LF/12-5042 LF/12-5043 LF/12-5044
LF/12-5045 LF/12-5046 LF/12-5055 LF/12-5059

=> I also read off 5035/LF

Do you know where it was?

RAAF : F-35A : A35-003 A35-004 A35-005
AMI : F-35A : 32-03 32-04
RNoAF : F-35A : 5045 5088 5110 5146 5147 => 5045 should read 5145

Check!

56FW/425FS : F-16C : LF/97-0112 LF/97-0113 LF/97-0120 LF/97-0121 LF/94-0273
56FW/425FS: F-16D : LF/94-0281 LF/94-0282 LF/94-0283 LF/96-5034 LF/96-5035

Thanks a lot for checking!

Regards, Paul

where did you see 097 Patrick?

OK, no 156 then. 88-0175 was indeed the first one of a row, then 88-0493, 90-0778, 87-0360 and 88-0506, plus a sixth one. Anybody for that last one? Regarding 358, I indeed see you did have that already, my mistake.

097 was the fourth in a row, after 705, 709 and 816.

=> I also read off 5035/LF

Do you know where it was?

Unfortunately that was somewhere in the chaotic part of our log. I think it was in the area where also the foreigners were (Italians, Australians), but I'm not sure unfortunately.

The last F-16 in the row of 6 was 90-793/LF TOPHATS

Anyone tell me whereabouts on the ramp was the Raptor 4163/FF - I completely missed that one?

[patrick dirksen]

Thanks for that Viper! The Raptor was parked on the left side, on the platform between the buildings, where also the Italian F-35 were. You had to be relatively close to the main static display to see it, from the P-8 area it was hidden I presume.
