I hope the 93rd FS still have some 86 fiscal vipers ( such as 86-0319 please!) as most of them are ex Wolf Pack.

86-0053
86-0264, 0265, 0266, 0267 0307,0318, 0319,0323, 0334,0337
87-0233,0239, 0244,0247,0259,0287,0290, 0338,0347,0367

Anyone have any idea as to how many are actually coming.

Scramble have also listed 88-0404 & 406 as being assigned ,but it looks as if they have too many F-16s for one Squadron, so obviously things have changed
