Any updates on the A-10's?


Gert.

i know they are not or not all grounded, but they are bussy on exercise Noble Ardent 08. this exercise is till 16-10-08. Lets wait till next week, (but i think they are not comming)

[Gert]

Thanks for the info!

[maurits]

Hi,

I think the A-10s will be replaced by F-16s because 90-0813/SP was noted on Monday.

But.... just wait and see next week!

I think the A-10s will be replaced by F-16s because 90-0813/SP was noted on Monday.

The callsign for the 813/SP was Buzzards, think it is currently loaned (on TDY) to the guys of Aviano...

[Ronaldsnl]

Currently some SP F16's are TDY on Aviano to keep the 31 wing on full strength because some AV F16's are in Greece for receiving avionics updates (AIM 9X).

90-0813 is one of them.

[perrie]

The SP Viper left Florennes this morning with an Aviano Viper.
(90-0813/SP and 88-0413/AV)

Left behind @ Florennes are: 88-0510/AV "510FS" and 89-2009/AV.

Just got home but put a short message on the mb for all of u who want to go tomorrow.

Nothing changed today, all aircraft were flying except for one EAV-8B, 2 Tornado's and an EF-18A. This Hornet was also towed into the TLP hangar so today the 4 Ala 46 Hornets and 1 Ala 12 Hornet were flying.
The Tornado GR4 flying today was coded "115" on the tail. This should make it ZD895.
There were also 4 Pipers parked on the field and 6 gliders which all departed when the TLp aircraft had left for their mission.
These were: LB01, LB03, LB05, LB06 and gliders: PL33, PL41, PL74, PL84, PL85 and PL87.
The weather was very good, hopefully all of you still going will have a great day too.
Now I'm thinking of going one more time, it would be nice to see the HH-3F's then... On the messageboard their arrivalday says monday oktober 20, so the first day of week 3. Is this a wild guess or really planned??
Otherwise I might go in the 4th week.

Anyway, happy spotting to al of you going to Florennes. It's a nice edition.
