Thanks for the log. The C-146As are with the 919SOW. The HC-144s at Opa Locka should be B models. Can you confirm the desighnation?

The C-146A can be either one of two squadrons depending on callsign used HOUND is 524Th SOS/492Nd SOW at Hurlburt and DINGO is the AFRC callsign for 859Th SOS/919Th SOW at Duke.

Hi Carey
Thanks for that I didn't confirm designations for the HC144s as I could only read the serials on the nose this time.
I didn't catch call signs for the Dorniers at MIA so not sure on those
