Re: 81st A-10's Leaving

Thanks for your very helpful updates, guys! And so, the remaining four "Spang Hogs" should be A-10Cs 81-0945, 81-0988, 81-0992 and 82-0647. Any update would be welcome! Last mission in Europe before leaving? Fly-overs to honor former operating bases?

Re: Lajes (Azores) (LPLA/TER) - 2013 MIL

Many thanks for your latest A-10C stopover info, guys. @Thunderbolt: "81-0947" as part of MAZDA11 flight should be just a typo, correct serial number is 81-0974. Question: Was there really an exchange of 79-0196 and 79-0198 between MAZDA11 and MAZDA12 flights from April 6 (arrival) to Apri...

Re: Lajes (Azores) (LPLA/TER) - 2013 MIL

It seems like these former 81st FS "Hogs" (moved back to CONUS recently due to the squadron's upcoming deactivation) are now on their way to Afghanistan, together with some other 23rd Fighter Group "Flying Tigers" A-10Cs. Photo proofs are wanted!
