The part "Local" in the sentence " local static assets" wories me a bit..

It could mean a static with 24 F-16s from the same unit, and maybe 8 A-10's.

I guess it's a static with 1 or 2 local F-16's/ A-10, a lost German fighter, with some luck other NATO a/c and a C-17 and/ or a C-5.....

I'm afraid those don't qualify as
unless the event includes only local static assets.

The transports are very regular at Spang, so they can tow them from their spots to the staticline. The other a/c can make a weekendstop while they are making a navigationflight or a crosscountry flight or so....

If they put up all the local A-10s and F-16s on the static I dont mind. :-)

Well the US DOD budget cuts tend to s.... big time.
However on a positive note, it seems to be possible to get in contact with staff at Spangdahlem.
Something i haven't been able to accomplish...

Thanks for passing the message on.

Today I received word from 52nd FW Public Affairs Office about the open house: "Unfortunately, planning for the 2013 Open House was cancelled due to
budget constraints. I recommend you check back in 2014." :-(

Wierd I received this today:

Thanks for contacting me. It shouldn't be a problem to get you on base for our open day. I will be in contact with you when the time gets closer to provide instructions.

Weekend stops or cross-country flights?.This isn't the 1980s.Such things were killed off about 20 odd years ago.
