Sorry but still no info from my contactpersons. i will post a.s.a.p. info when it reaches me.............

According to a single U.S. news media article (Source: http://www.wtoc.com/global/story.asp?s=7894248" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;), VMFA-115 "Silver Eagles", MCAS Beaufort, South Carolina, MAG-31, 2nd MAW, is preparing to deploy to Iraq for OIF. It looks to me like they will replace VMFA(AW)-225 "Vikings", MCAS Miramar, California, MAG-11, 3rd MAW, at Al Asad Airfield, Iraq. And it´s possible that they make a stopover either at Lajes AB or at Moron AB.

Hi everyone,

The Hornets should have arrived this evening at Lajes as Mazda 21 and Mazda 31 flight.

Hope this helps,


René.
