I’ll have them at some point but callsigns fell apart due 3 F-16’s sitting northside
ZK560 was the Chinook which arrived aswell

Just adding the 2 below which departed as the last pair last night....callsign for these 2 jets and the 2 above were BANSHEE and COBRA 31 but not sure which was which.
89-023
89-038

[LN Strike Eagle]

Oh yeah, not sure how I missed those two off as I have them photographed too! Thanks.

Is Dawg a confirmed callsign for the Vipers, only it's listed in the opening post as a Strike Eagle pair too?

Yesterday's live thread has the F-16D as Buzzard 41, and also SABRE 31 was noted RTB at 8:06pm? Aside from the two-seater, they all went out as pairs didn't they, so by my reckoning we have too many callsigns for the number of flights unless Dawg is an error?

[Ross Forsyth]

Yeah Dawg has been used by the F-16`s every day this week,the Eagles using DAWG/DOG caught us all out on Tuesday as we heard a QUID asking if DAWG/DOG were in the green,we assumed early F-16 launches,but turned out was Eagles.
Pretty sure it did use BUZZARD31 but don`t make me place my savings on it lol

As for SABRE it could well have been,I had a note of BANSHEE and COBRA but not serials next to either so wether these ever did depart I don`t know for sure,and yes 4 pairs plus the twin stick departed so 5 callsigns only.
