It is possible I guess for Retro14 (PolAF F-16 #4040) to land at Lajes on her way to USA. Could you pay a little attention to her?

RETRO 14 landed at McEntire Joint National Guard Base this evening.

Hope this helps,

Any serials or at least tailcodes? So I think, other 'Hogs' will replace the remaining Moody A-10Cs at Bagram AB, Afghanistan, as part of USAF's upcoming AEF 9/10 (Cycle 7) rotation (May - August 2009). After their extended deployment, the 75th EFS was already replaced by the 74th EFS, but only by personnel.

Hi,

The 74FS A-10s should be arriving from Sigonella this weekend, and then returning via Lajes to Moody AFB next week.

Hi, good evening,

Four VAQ-134 Prowlers should have arrived this evening as Mazda 41-44. They are departing to Sigonella on Friday.

Hope this is of interest,

Good afternoon,

Four Prowlers returned to Andrews NAS from Lajes yesterday as Trend 21-24.
Supporting KC-10 Blue 71 (87-0122) arrived at McGuire AFB.

Another F-16 delivery flight has been scheduled from Fort Worth to Lajes tomorrow, May 20th.

Hope this helps,


RH.

Confirmation welcome!

Thanks a lot for your serial numbers info, Mark! If the 23rd Fighter Group, 23rd Wing, Moody AFB, Georgia, really deployed six "fresh" A-10Cs to Bagram AB, Afghanistan, then the 74th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron will stay for USAF's entire AEF 9/10 (Cycle 7) rotation (May - August 2009). But in this case, Dutchmil must be wrong with his 74th EFS redeployment info:

RH.

According to a Stars and Stripes news article, elements from the 81st Fighter Squadron, 52nd Fighter Wing, Spangdahlem AB, Germany, will deploy to Afghanistan in September - that would be part of USAF's upcoming AEF 1/2 (Cycle eight) rotation (September - December 2009).

Hi,

F-16 delivery flight to Lajes from Fort Worth today as Retro 81 flight with Blue 31 and Blue 32.
They should be departing to Greece on Friday, May 22nd.
