Retro11, 5 x AMX are possibly MM7114, 7129, 7160, 7165 and MM7169.

You will see that MM7160 and MM7169 are quoted on Retro21 as well so visual confirmation is still required.

Looks very busy now at Lajes:

arr today 6x A-10 from Sigonella

Mazda71

got one serial
78-0674

[raameagle]

One of the Italian AMX serials at Lajes must have been mis-read as MM7174 / 51-60 arrived at Nellis as part of the detachment but wasn't listed as part of the 10 aircraft on 'GPs' report.

All of these 23rd Fighter Group / 23rd Wing jets are returning to Moody AFB, Georgia, after their Operation Enduring Freedom combat deployment at Bagram AB, Afghanistan. On their way back home to CONUS, they already made stopovers at Al Udeid AB, Qatar, and Sigonella, Sicilly.

Anybody who can/will tell me their departure dates from Lajes? I would be very grateful for any support.

The VAQ-142 Prowlers were Trend 61-64, and they returned to Whidbey Island today.

Hope this helps,
