REQ id USMC AV-8B EM-51 seen at Hyeres 19may 1990

Hi, I'm still looking after an id for EM-51 seen at Hyëres-Le Palyvestre in 1990.

Hope someone help me with this now 35 year mystery ..... pointing towards an url or something like that.

Other AV-8Bs seen and positively identified were 163200/EM-54 and 163659/EM-56.

They were from a boat lying in Toulon harbour packed with CH-46s. No ids needed though.

MTIA,

Peter Kesselaar

Image of 163177/EM-51 taken in 1990 according to the text: https://www.aviationphotocompany.com/p9 ... #hc298d2e8

While it doesn't state where the above image was taken, there is also another image on the site from 1990 of 163659/EM-56 which ties up with your other sighting
