Hello what I understand is that the Av8's left Cherry Point last Thursday so should have started or starting Monday.

Greetings Vincent

I'm told WTI started Monday 18th and runs seven weeks. First three weeks are theoretical so expect less flying.

The above were on the remote ramp, together with about 5 more F-35's and the listed F-18's. The only WTI things that flew whilst I was there were the UH-1Y and the 5 F-18's which is how I got their bu-nos. The AV-8's arrived as a 4, then 2, then 2, but I didn't see where they parked.

170015 would make more sense for CJ/015.
170005 was CJ/005 last I heard.

CJ005 should be 169019
CJ015 should be 170005

Both require confirmation though.

170015 is a P-8A

Are the CH-53 codes (3 digits) now the last 3 of the bu serial, I thought that was the latest format?
