My instant gut feeling was that you would have "mis-wrote" a Wildcat.

Re: May the Force be with You. MCAS Yuma and NAF El Centro Vader Flight and Goshawks
Nice set!
Can you please reconfirm the serial of AD/262 please? This should be 166670 I think (and also reported as such in Mar25).

Re: N a s fallon
Well that rather depends on what you want.
With decent optics/cameras you will get plenty of serials if they fly.
You won't get photos worthy of the photo section, but not all of us are that interested in doing that....

Re: KC-46A
Looking at various tracking apps, Seymour Johnson based KC-46A 18-46056 doesn't seem to have flown since September 2023.
Does anyone know why this would be? Or am I mistaken?

Thanks, nice set.
Can you please confirm 168702 YP/00?
This was YW/02 (Mar24-Nov24) and was still in VMM-165 marks in this photo taken 10Jan25: https://www.dvidshub.net/image/8826707/
PS
Prefer the grey T-45 scheme. Would be easier to read if I needed any

I suspect it is still with HQ CMEF in Bahrain.
It went westbound in June, presumably for spannering.
