Re: NAS Whidbey Island Wednesday 5th March.
The following P8’s were read off at first light by a non board member. Apologies for only posting the last three, I don’t have time to check them and wanted to get the information out whilst it was still relatively current.

Re: Trend31flight
Can anyone assist with the 6 F16's on the 16th July that went to RF2, although I believe only 5 made the crossing Thanks Read off on arrival Andrews 16th July TREND 32-36 ETAD>KADW 91-0361 F-16C 480FS/52FW/SP 91-0402 F-16C 480FS/52FW/SP 91-0403 F-16C 480FS/52FW/SP 91-0417 F-16C 480FS/52FW/SP 96-008...

Re: 'Clean' v 'Gold' v 'Blue'...and so on
And of course today, the USAF disproved this point by using tankers as "Gold 11/12/13" out of Mildenhall to refuel "Tabor 71 flight", TX ANG F-16s going home from Spangdahlem! So a previously almost foolproof system turns out not to be! I find this happens all the time :D As soon as you find the pa...

Re: 'Clean' v 'Gold' v 'Blue'...and so on
A perfect example as to why CE011 couldn’t use RETRO 91-92 at the time. That tells you the IQAF were booked first although the CE code is higher.

Re: 'Clean' v 'Gold' v 'Blue'...and so on
Just to add another small point, whenever there is a drag involving a tanker and chicks (fighters), the callsign for the chicks will always be 50 digits higher than the tanker, so, for example, Gold 11 and 12 took the Qatari F-15s downrange this week, and the fighters were calling "Trend 61-65".

Re: Cope India 2023
The AV is news to me, if they are moving I would be surprised if they do go all the way to Japan but may live to regret that statement when/if the code shows!

Re: Cope India 2023
Kadena release here about the SJ,
https://www.kadena.af.mil/News/Article/ ... e-pacific/
The same pattern seems to occur that did with CW 411/412/413/414 starting with the SJ on CW452, might be nowt but seemed to stand out to me.

By the increases in what I have had to pay over the last year or two id say 25% is more realistic, held down at the moment by Government spin to try & stop it getting out of hand.
