the one that was at AIR (18533) is more or less at the same spot, have a look at the top right of the last photo viewtopic.php?f=3&t=119&p=3874#p3874
there are 3 more at the MAI area, one by the Engine shed (18542) and 2 by the northern wall (18548, 18560)
I don't know if there is anyone else right now.
