Aviano (LIPA) - 2009 MIL

[Oscar01]

Hi,

Inbound today were four F-16s with Retro c/s. They came in from Lajes.

Probably 4 from rework (that were seen at Lajes yesterday).

Kind regards,
Oscar

It's a very big surprise for me to know that some 31 FW's Vipers are/were on the States, I'm very curious to know their tail numbers..

[Oscar01]

Ciao Maurizio,

Wishfull thinking.... new ones?

At least no tailnumbers were mentioned in flightplan....

Regards,
Oscar

Cheers,

Great picture !! Taken in the landing of Aviano ?

[Maurizio]

Hi Piet,
the NOTAM was precedent the mishap, since then they aren't fliyng at all.

For Guinness, yes taken on landing at LIPA.

[Pillow]

Are the media right with the fuel tanks ?

I dont see any wing pylons for external fuel tanks or did it only have
a center fuel tank that has been dropped?
