Thanks for all the updates on the movements.

I know it`s not much help but I think the SJ was c/s "Rocket 21". Maybe a step forward if someone is at the Heath.

Out in the 323s this afternoon was what sounded like Vigil flight having their photo taken with Doom 11 flight by Avenger flight, then going up with Agressor & Warthog just off the coast, or so it sounded like on comms

5008 had an engine flameout yesterday, so it’s possible that airframe might be left behind.
