Can you confirm 164674/VK07 and 164667/DT10 (both last noted April 2012) have swapped modex and Sqn please?

Can anyone say how long the 27FS F-22's are at Kadena as I will be in Japan in November / December?

Can anyone say how long the 27FS F-22's are at Kadena as I will be in Japan in November / December?

A maximum of a 4 month deployment has been the limit in the past.This should mean they will be gone by Thanksgiving.

This could change.

Mark,

The correct version is

164667 VK-07

164674 DT-10

So no swap.

It looks like some editing is in order here.

Thanks for the information. If I am correct Thanksgiving is 22nd November and our schedule has us arriving in the area on the 25th after exploring the north and central parts of Japan.

Looks like we might miss them.
