Remind you, and all, that Aviano is expecting some "new" F-16s too.

And to make it more difficult:
Polish are expecting 2 more F-16s also within 1 or 2 weeks....

But, I might be able to give serials tomorrow evening.

Hi,

No F-16s filed for Lajes as of 12.00z (so not the ones for Spang or so). Only a/c filed were some prowlers.

Prowlers

Post by Dutchmil »

The Prowlers were airborne this morning, but returned to CONUS as one of their tankers was unable to transfer fuel.

Hope this helps,

Hi,

Two F-16s are still at Bangor, 1 tech. Will route Bangor - Europe straight and not through Lajes. No ETD so far.
