Rumours say about some 12 A-10's landed at Lajes yesterday. Anyone got any ideas of which unit and which way they are heading?
Last week already saw 12 "ID" A-10's passing through after 12 "MI" A-10s relieved them from duty somewhere in the Middle East.

Earlier this year Lajes already saw 12 "DM" A-10's and 12"IN" A-10's, so they are definitely having the year of the Hog at Lajes.
I'm quite sure "Thunderbolt" is having a great year so far!

Even 12 more?? They already have 12 in theater, so do they even have 24 jets?
