Hi all,
 
Firstly, thanks to the three gentlemen who all helped identify C-130A  TL-KNK 
as ex-55-0025 (c/n 182-3052), Peruvian Navy AT-531, Peruvian Air  Force 
FAP-381, OB-1394, and N226LS. Thanks guys. Anyway, the  logs....
 
A few sightings at Alexandria IAP (AEX). Yesterday, August 16th 2006  were:
 
C-130A N131EC in new grey scheme, yuk!
C-130A TL-KNK in blue, white and  gold scheme, somewhat similar to Air Force 
One *
C-130H 88-4407 440th AW 95th AS in/out as "EVAC4407"

* = If you squint really hard.
 
Today, August 17th:
 
T-1A 93-0641 VN y 71st FTW 32nd FTS grey in/out as "LOOKER 01"
T-1A  93-0642 VN y 71st FTW 32nd FTS grey in/out as "LOOKER 03"
T-1A 93-0646 VN y  71st FTW 32nd FTS grey in/out as "LOOKER ?"
T-1A 94-0129 VN r 71st FTW  32nd FTS in/out as "LOOKER 21"
T-1A ? VN y 71st FT W32nd FTS in/out as  "LOOKER ?" marked "71 FTW" on fin
T-1A 94-0136 CB 14th FTW 48th FTS in/out as  "MOON ?"
UH-60L 03-26994 C Co 1-244 Avn LA ArNG plus one that came  in after dark.
 
I'm not 100% convinced the T-1's were calling LOOKER but it sure sounded  
like it. The UH-60L's unit is confirmed and it's out of Esler Field.  The 
manufacturers plate was photographed and the c/n confirmed as  702789.
 
Also, noted flying from Fort Polk recently have been:
Mi-8 "ARMY 12053" and a red and white colored UH-1H "ARMY 15592"  
(69-15592??). Looks very cool.
 
Hope this is of interest.
