So another chance to get them on the way back from Hungary to Springfield?!

Hi,

Don't think so. Then I would say they are leaving on Friday from Hungary straight to US. Note that overthere the ANG prefers to fly weekends. Besides, Hungary - Spang is very short, so then, if they have to stop, I would say they stop in UK.

They now prefer to continue as much as possible after refuelling and that's why they land at Spang. Bases in Hungary are closed during weekends, so they cannot continue to final destination.

I would say, if you need them, go this afternoon or tomorrow.

They mentioned Kecskemet on their Interflight as Final Dest.

Thanks Joost!

Correction on tankers:
Cacti41 (the OH one) will probably drop off in US
Cacti42 a 100th ARW one will do last leg.

Many Thanks Oscar,

Above Germany they were split of the formation in Trend81 and Trend82 with 6 miles in trail.
So were did the Trend83 and Trend84 land??
