Sorry for my "zero" radio insider knowledge. Question: Are these "A10" logs archived from October 21, 2002? Or are they from April 26, 2011? If they are new, it could be that A-10C 80-0208 from the 75th FS and A-10C 78-0600 from the 74th FS diverted from Lajes to "Spang"... Unfortunately, from my Lajes photo correspondents I've got no further update about both aircraft's next destination. And so, I would be very grateful for any related news.

Thanks for the serials.

Could it be you mixed the buno of RM-06 with RM-09?

Cheers,

Melchior,

Any departure info about "stranded" 23rd Fighter Group (FT) A-10Cs 78-0600 (74th FS) and 80-0208 (75th FS)? That would be very helpful to clear up some recent "mystic" A-10C movements.

[Thunderbolt]

Sorry Joachim,

I don't have any information about this A10... Today at Lajes depart the last two Prowlers (163520/MD-04; 161244/MD-01) with c/s "Trend24 Flight", and also depart a C17 (04-4131) c/s was "Reach466"
