Hi George,
That sounds strange to me, AFAIK India hasn't ordered any F-16's....Maybe you've seen the abbreviation IAF, in that case I guess they will be Israeli's.
Anyway, nice to see the movements from Lajes, hope to go there someday. Keep 'm coming!
Doesn't fit with the radiolog. Maybe another one did make it on his own to Lajes. Or is the info attracted from flightplans? Which mentioned a flight of 11.
Indeed, quite a busy place for such a small island
Then again, it´s ofcourse very well situated for ferry flights between the US and Europe and the middle east.
I always say a boy can learn more at an airport than at any school.
