Hi all,
 
Another good day here in central Louisiana. I tried (unsuccessfully) to  
photograph the Saudi F-15 up close but security (SP's brought in from Eglin for  
the very purpose) told be the Boeing guys didn't want anyone near it. Told them 
 I knew more about the jet than most having worked them at 
Lakenheath......didn't  help;(  I did manage to photograph it as it taxied onto the runway. Drop 
me  a line if you want to see it. BTW, RSAF F-15's, like their USAF  
brothers, are not VHF capable. The RC-7B was another highlight, again,  photo if you 
want one. Can anyone confirm "LLAMA" as a RC-7 type callsign?
 
T-38A 62-3690 WM 509th BW 394th CTS arrived as "FAST 14" 
T-38A ? WM 509th BW 394th CTS marked "509th BW" arr/dep as "FAST  15"
UH-1H (73)-21692 in out as "GUARD COPTER 692" went to Navy New  Orleans.
UC-35A 98-0009 in/out as "PAT 09" I think
C-17A 03-3118 172nd AW  183rd AS MS ANG in the pattern as "RULER 21"
T-1A 95-0043 CB 14th FTW in/out  as "MOON 66"
T-1A 95-0045 CB 14th FTW (gray scheme) in/out as "MOON  16"
F-15C 1326 full RSAF marks (Boeing loan) departed as "STAG 21" to Eglin  AFB
C-12U 84-0153 l/n 1st MI BN out/in/out/in as "PAT 153A"
C-12U 84-0166  in as "PAT 148" depart to Davison AAF
C-12T 85-1266 l/n VA NG
RC-7B N765MG  marked "US Army" on nose, in/out as "sounded like LLAMA 25"

The  Whiteman T-38 62-3690 tried to depart at least twice, I think he's gone 
u/s. I  could have sworn that this was marked "66-690." Anyone else seen this? 
Anyone  have an ID for its stable mate marked 509th BW? The heat haze was 
terrible  today, 100+ in the shade, the serial was written very small at the base 
of  the tail. Even from a few feet away I couldn't read it off. As for the  
F-15, I had "STAG" down as a Tyndall callsign, Anyone confirm?

Thanks for any help received. I'm off to tie down the house again.
