ETAD 10-06-2022 80 years 480FS

[Worldnis]

Heads-up for an event which marks the 80th anniversary of 480FS; it's lineage goes back to a WWII bomber squadron.
Festivities are planned for Friday 10th of June, I heard it from a local (Dutch) spotter
I know nothing of any visitors, only mention the date for now. Therefore no speculation on my behalf, we'll just have to see who shows up!

*that local dutch spotter said that it´s the 52nd fw 50th anniversary next friday, as spangdahlems ab own facebook states.

the event on the 10th marks the 50th anniversary of the 52nd FW.
The 480th "birthday" is July 15th ( of which a special patch will be brought out soon )
