Yesterday should have seen the arrival of 12 A-10s from Moody (FT Tail) with tanker support.
TABOR31-36 with GOLD81-83
TABOR41-46 with GOLD91-93
TABOR41 flight should be the following:
79-0189, 78-0616, 78-0697, 80-0252, 80-0256, 80-0226
GOLD91 62-3542
GOLD92 63-8881
GOLD93 63-8003
GOLD81 59-1466
GOLD82 63-8018
GOLD83 58-0113
If I'm not mistaken GOLD91 and 81 returned to the US after handing TABORs over to 92/93 and 82/83
Hi Zonan
From the list above, not everything went as planned. TABOR31 turned out to be a formation flight of 4x A10s (78-0583, 79-0189, 79-0157 80-0188). All were photographed and they all add FT on their tails. TABOR41 landed after sunset and I wasnt' threre to see them. Although I can not confirm the serial it was a formation flight of 6 A-10.
As for the GOLDs, the following 4 were on the ground: 58-0113, 63-8013, 63-8003, 63-8881. Indeed there were 2 extra GOLDs that took part of the air refuelling but those two did not land here.
From those 10 A-10, a quick drive around the perimeter fence, this morning, allowed to see that 4 were on the ground (along 2 KC-135). Now, who is gone, who is on the ground, that I don't know.
Changing the subject, at time I did that drive around the fence (around 2Pm local time), Voyager ZZ335 and F-35 ZM142 were taxing out for departure. The F-35 had been here for some days already...
best regards
