Ramstein (ETAR/RMS) - 2008

[J.J.]

According to Lajes stopover shots, taken in September by João Toste / Azoresairphotos.com, A-10C 78-0674 is marked "74 FS"!

A-10C 78-0679/FT = 75th FS
A-10C 79-0138/FT = 75th FS
A-10C 79-0186/FT = 75th FS
A-10C 79-0192/FT = 74th FS

Are there really 6, or 5, or only 4 (Banter wrote: MAZDA81-84)?

I think J.J. read fine, as 78-0674 is twice on your list (as 78-0674 and as "74FS") If anyone has info on the departure date/time, please let me know.

Dennis

Any flightplan filed yet for the departure of the FT A-10s to Spangdahlem?

[J.J.]

You are right, wamovements! And it looks to me that Theo03's info is not 100% correct.

Thanks to a new friend, I was able to make an update on my Warthog News today:

http://warthognews.blogspot.com/2008/11 ... m-10s.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

After Thanksgiving, all six Hogs should relocate to Spang.

I would be very grateful for any further related first-hand support. Especially related spotter photos are wanted.

[Eric van Lisdonk]

Maybe Oscar can see it in the system when the A-10 were due to depart RS. Hopefully they stay till saturday??

Cheers,
Eric

[Wijgert IJlst]

Nope, I'll hope for tomorrow... because I have trip to SP/RS planned, but do not want to missed them while I'm in the car!

[J.J.]

Spotting and photographing those Bagram FT Hogs relocatet to Germany for wing inspections and repairs must be simply awesome for the entire European spotter scene. If the Hogs relocate from Ramstein to Spang after Thanksgiving, please let me known that and post first related pictures for the history books! I would be very grateful for any further first-hand support for my blog.

Hi all,

Currently on deck 4x C-135!!
All the fighters from last week are still on base.

Cheers,
Eric

[Oscar01]

The KC-135s are here because EGUN is closed. A number of hercs went to Prestwick and Romania.... pitty they didn't use ETAR as alternate as well...

More to follow.
Oscar

[wamovements]

Hereby our LOG from 28 and 29 November 2008 at ETAR. Unfortuantely Trout99 came in in dark and the FT's didn't depart. They are together with the two SP A-10's parked at Ramp 4. Some phot's can be found in the Photo Forum.

It seems to be that Trout99 is an EC-135R instead of a KC-135R. Anybody knows more about this designation?

[Eric van Lisdonk]

Hi all,

The departure from the SP A-10's, SP F-16's and the 6 FT A-10's is expect for tomorrow. The Edwards EC-135R is also due to depart tomorrow.
Also a Alabama ANG KC-135 is due to arrive tomorrow and a German C-160D. Of course this is not all for tomorrow there is more.

Cheers,
Eric

[Tigerspoon]

would it be possible to photograph the a10's at etar while departing to etad?
and where is the best location
