Hi Richard,
Nice report.
I have one short question for you.

Re: ETAD 10-04-2012
There was one more 60thAMW C-17 on the ramp - nothing else. But sorry - no registration. Can try and also identify non-active aircraft on the ground next time in case this is of interest for somebody ...

Many thanks for you kind DVD offer, Richard. I've sent you a PM.
Much more important for Scramble users: 52nd Fighter Wing Public Affairs released some official photos of the returned Spang "Hogs". Check: http://www.spangdahlem.af.mil/news/stor ... =123297543
Their incredible shot http://www.spangdahlem.af.mil/shared/me ... 91-028.jpg would become part of the A-10 history books if the "Panthers" should really deactivated soon. Because it would document their very last return from a combat deployment. Pictured (from left) are: A-10Cs 81-0981 (marked "81 FS"), 81-0966 (marked "52 OG"), 81-0965, 81-0956, 81-0985 and 80-0275.
