I saw tuesday a pic on azoresairphotos but the pic is removed, can't remember the serial anymore but it was a pic with a V-22 on it and it was a Airforce example.

Reason about removing pics about those rare birds is still unknown, some of my contactpersons are also very quiet about it......

to be continued i quess !

Very interesting movements !

Any trace of a second USAF Pilatus U-28A (PC-12/45) around October 11 2008? (or maybe more?) I found a photo at URL:
http://www.jetphotos.net/viewphoto.php?id=6387632" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; showing U-28A 07-0821 [70821]

Could be the three Spang Hogs joined the first group of Bagram homecomers enroute CONUS to participate in Hawgsmoke 2008, 15 - 18 Oct. at Salina, Kansas. Anybody who spotted they on return?
