AK down here??

Probably didn't travel as far as it looks like he did. 

I've seen "OT" and "WA" tail codes come in from Nellis and they have had a couple of Alaska birds based there for a while. Wouldn't surprise me if this was one of those.
BUT! at Plant 42, you never know!

With Holloman Raptors participating in the next Red Flag, I'd bet this is one of theirs. Some of Holloman's birds still wear the AK tail code. We were told at Phancon that Holloman is basically getting 'hand-me-down' Raptors. Some a/c have not had the HO tailcode painted on due to its expense, but they will get painted w the new tailcode when they go in for depot maintenance.

Eclectic variety today, considering it was a very slow start and I had to go into the office about 1:30pm.

Thanks Kevin!

Don't know why I didn't put two and two together with the "CL" at the end of the N number.
