Cecil Field Resurgent?

Looking at the latest Google maps images of Cecil Field, there is a lot of military presence back. I figure some of the P-8s can be explained by the Boeing facility there, but the P-3s, C-40s and C-130s lead me to believe there is more to the story. The remarked taxiways and parking locations tell me it's not just an exercise.

Is Cecil being used as a relief training field for Jacksonville?

NAS Jax was having the main runway repaved, so those should be Jax based P-8s/C-130s.

A new updated Cecil Field scenery package would be nice. A nice mix of Military and Civilian on the old base.

I see that in the NOTAMS that 09L is still closed. It was being used for P3 AND P8 parking. I had thought that with the traffic had all gone back to Jacksonville. Does anyone know for certain if there is still Jacksonville traffic at Cecil?

All the units have returned to NAS Jax. Cecil is still used as a practice landing field to relieve the heavy traffic at NAS Jax.

Piecing together some information from various sources gives me these for the DHS/CBP P-3s:

P-3 AEW
152722 N147CS
153446 N144CS
153447 N143CS
153452 N142CS
154575 N148CS
154581 N149CS
154605 N146CS
155299 N145CS

P-3 LRT
152729 N769SK
152741 N741SK
153423 N423SK
153431 N431SK

Since I can see four P-3 AEW on the ground at Cecil, I'm going to guess the AEWs are split half and half with Corpus. Anyone know which are where?

When I drove by yesterday there were 4 AEW and 2 LRT on the line. Too far to see BUNOs.
