Dear raameagle, are you sure that A-10s from 355 FW DM go to Osan through Pacific Ocean?

Yes, they departed as Dirca 51, 61 and 71 flight from DM to Hickam last Friday.

Hi,

Bit off topic here, but they planned these A-10 deployments due to runway closure at DM for runway repairs....

Can anybody confirm that actually 12 DM A-10s flew to Moron? All I knew was that they left DM on Friday, and that 12 A-10s were expect on Tuesday, so I added 1+1.... but might have been wrong....

Regards,
Oz

A10's landed Lajes .

And to be more off-topic:

Where will all the A-10 head to. I pressume moch more will deploy beside the 12 to Osan.

[raameagle]

The A-10s that arrived at Lajes this week are probably heading to replace others already in situ in the Middle East. I suspect they will be from the 23WG at Moody AFB?

Regards

Mark

Thanks Banter, all!

Banter, can you see if these were DMs?

As one of my friends was on base at DM when they left last friday, we might be able to get serials somewhere next week (but might be the ones to Osan).

Regards,
Oz

All I know is they departed Moody . DM - Moody - Lajes is a possible conclusion ?

Nice catch! This should be 389th FS (first combat deployment to SW Asia since converting to F-15E) replacing 336th at Bagram:

(Note that active-duty USAF fighter deployments are now six months starting last fall.)

Today movements at Moron:
One KC-135 Gold 99 arrived from CONUS to Moron, suporting two F-16s Retro-XX (likely Retro 45-46).
One KC-135 Gold 92 depart from Moron to CONUS and one KC-10 Gold 91 arrived from CONUS to Moron, suporting F-16s Retro 51 (likely Retro 51-56).

Retro 41-46 & 51-56 (12 a/c) sounds like a deployment--possibly replacement unit for either 4th EFS at Bagram or 13th EFS at Balad?

Best rgds,
