Hi Banter

They are still in Lajes and will depart today, but I will confirm this latter on

Regards

[Banter]

I've just got word that they have departed and are heading for Spain !

[passat man]

why has it been indicated that the aircraft have left (along with call signs) and now it appears they are stll there...did they leaveand return?

[Banter]

Yes ,it sounds like they got airborne and returned yesterday. And today the preffered route weather wise east is more southerly .

[Fireman Sam]

Sorry I was wrong, confirmed that they left yesterday morning and they came back to Lajes due to a problem on the MC-130H, they left today around 11.00 am

Indeed they did! The last F16 had some kind of problems and made an emergency landing (no problems in the end).
