Probably 480FS is participating in the NATO air defence exercise Tobruq Legacy-19 which is held in Poland from 3-19 June.

The 61-0321 arrived on Spangdahlem on May 29 2019, it is the first time it visited Europe after the transfer to the 507 ARW. Historic data shows that the 61-0321 flew it's last mission for the 100ARW on 21 September 2018. On the 27th of September it flew to it's new home on Tinker Air Force Base. It probably went into maintenance because the next flight was on March 6, 2019. Picture see: https://www.facebook.com/10001296045277 ... 79&sfns=mo
