Hi!!

Lots of arrival NOTAMS for day 22 and 23 at Lajes.
Maybe those F16's and something more.

Best Regards,
Leandro Rocha.

The TREND's to LGSA were SP machines.

Also 4 more A10's routed LAJES/SiG/Mid East as more replacements for the FT's at Bagram. Therefore there is a chance that over the next few days Spang will see some more FT's for urgent maintainence.

Hi mate,

Yes, but there was no Trend61 flight. Only 41 and 51 and they have been seen landing at LGSA by a dutch spotter.....

According to my information Trend 61 which is a flight of 6 F-16s is still in the Middle East and expected to launch towards Lajes early next week.

trend 41 and trend 51 landed in Aviano (LIPA) friday 21 afternoon.

We heard them at the radio; they missed Air refuelling with Quid ?1 due to bad weather and diverted to LIPA.
I made the pictures. I do not know if they are still there but quite sure of it. Now it is snowing in LIPA.

Hey Tonno,

There's a guy who lives (fairly) near Nevatim who would be your pal forever if you shot the serials of the other 11 Sp F-16s

[marcosommacal]

Trend 51-54 were
-90-0818 red
-90-0829 red 22 FS
-90-0833 red
-91-0343 red
I miss the other 8 because they were 2.30 h after these...
Bye Marco

[Maurizio]

Should be the following:

91-0339, 90-0827, 91-0402, 91-0338, 91-0340, 91-0342, 91-0464, 91-0352 "Trend 41-46 + 55-56"

[Starman]

Free beer and felafel next time you're in Israel!

[tonno1970]

Houch! Marco and Maurizio were faster than me...... no beer.... ...

but I have the serials of the 10 Israelian F16 that came in Decimomannu for trinax exercise if you want....


All of it just for a beer....


ciao gp

Thanks for the info, Banter! Anybody who can provide their serials, stopover dates, and pictures for my Warthog News blog? I would be very grateful for any support.

Tonno,

It's not fair, you can sit at Deci and take great pix, I can sit under their home approach all day long, even being seen by bored back-seaters in the Ds, but the first farmer who comes along calls the civil police and it's bad news for me. That's why I'm only a spotter!

Hi,

Retro 91-93 and KC-10 Blue 41 should be arriving later today.

Hope this is of interest,


RH.
