Another busy day here. Surprised to see another(2nd in as many days), E-4B sitting here ‘GORDO01’, arrived yesterday I think. I missed it depart by 5 mins(1st upset for today). Saw it sitting there but I decided to go to the opposite(approach) runway end, only for it to depart as I was half way round the base😭, at least I caught last weeks one. Full exercise sortie this afternoon, 10 x F-15, 4 x F-35, 9 x F-16(HAF). 6 x F-16’s returned within 90 mins but the rest didn’t show🤷‍♀️(que 2nd upset of today). Decided to call it a day and departed, wasn’t gone from my spot by 5 mins, when 4 x F-35, 4 x F-15 and 3 x F-16 flew beat down the runway in an arrow formation no more than 150ft above it😭😭. Bonuses for today were another HAA CH-47 carrying out fire fighting duties, HAF EJ-145 visited, missed a HAF C-130 departing and recent arrival of a USAF C-17. Also seen on the US ramp area were a C-146, RC-135 and an unidentified P-3. Both S-64’s were active back and from the fire hit areas on the South side of the island.
