Joint Warrior 192

[Saguaro]

AE6838 is doing some training by the look of it as I write this at 0945 local using radio callsign Navy YD85. Maybe someone can confirm the serial. It certainly looks as though the penny has dropped regarding ADSB & for operational security they are starting to use tactical hex blocks like the fighters. I wonder if this is the start of a wider trend?

Anyone log the 2 helicopters on the Tonnere at the tail of the bank?
The second landed at 1630.
Sorry can't identify them to binos.

Have they gone home?

Unsure. When all 3 left I assumed for home since the other sorties were only 2 or 1.
But around 16:00, I was too far from the airport for a positive ID, but I heard/saw what sounded/looked like a hawk overshoot and land.
