Spangdahlem (ETAD/SPM) - 2008

[Oscar01]

Morning JJ,

The A-10s have (always? (at least a lot of times)) done 60 days AEF duties.

The A-10s from 81st that were deployed Jan 04th / 05th, releived the A-10s that were there for also 60 days.

Besides, Spangdahlem confirmed that they were "on duties for 60 days" (quote). That also confirms the first batch planned to return late next week (KC-135 is already prenotificated for his flight(s), but cannot mention routing here (check pm)).

Regards,
Oscar

Sorry, Oscar 01! But please understand: Meanwhile, all USAF fighter/attack aircraft packages (like F-15Es, F-16s and A-10s) are on scheduled 120-day (four-month) OIF/OEF combat deployments - all related to curent USAF´s AEF cycle rotations! Which "Hogs" you will greet at Spang late next week?

Guess Oscar is right again (as most of the time...)

see this message below regarding another deployment of 60 days of the MT guard...:

About 175 airmen from the 120th Fighter Wing of the Montana Air National

"Twenty-five have already left, and we'll have about 50 airmen processing
out Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday," said Maj. Rick Anderson, the air
wing's spokesman. The deployment is being filled with an all-volunteer
force.
