Yes - to 77ARS/916ARW at Seymour Johnson. As their callsigns suggest, S-J's 8th and 9th ones (excluding the two loan machines a while ago)

19-46065 = [AE5FAC]

Slight typo on the main list

should be 46063

Many thanks, Alf.

Thought I had changed that after the copy and paste - evidently not.

Now corrected

It might appear as 19-46067 on the trackers but the serial on the tail reads '56067' as seen by me two weeks ago.
