One of our mil monitoring friends Taka Okamura in Tokyo has posted this interesting bit of information (Mac, one of our blog followers, this one is for you):
"VMFA-224's F-18D left MCAS Iwakuni,Japan at 17th and 18th July for return to USA.
They turn over Iwakuni deployment to VMFA-533.
Sorry, I don't know their flight callsign this time... But They usually fly for trans pacific flight way Iwakuni -> Wake Island -> Hawaii ->Miramar -> Beaufort.
So, I think they will reach to their Home base mid next week."
Have a good monitor!
