40178 is not an E-4 serial, a typo I presume?

In this case a "typo by the crew"

Some 52 FW Vipers are currently detatchet at Aviano. They are flying with 510th FS c/s, so I believe they are "on loan" to the Buzzards because they have a dozen of F-16 at HAI Tanagra for CCIP up-date.
Noted so far 90-0833, 91-0361, 92-3918 plus one at least.

Special thanks for your latest info, Maurizio! I also remember a listing already posted by Kostas above. And this night, I found the following related HAI company news: http://www.haicorp.com/html/en/news-20080320.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

See also: http://www.f-16.net/news_article2852.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Related to that, on F-16.net I launched a new topic "CCIP upgrade for USAFE F-16s by HAI Tanagra": http://www.f-16.net/f-16_forum_viewtopic-t-10356.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Anybody from the Scramble community who can/will help us to watch and document this process? The F-16.net Team would be very grateful for any support!

Another SP Viper came in last week, while an AV jet came in the day before yesterday.
If it is of any interest I'll get you the numbers when I get back from some... well deserved RnR

Blade 01 delivered to HAI on 14th (Blade 01) and 91-0481 delivered back to 52 FW on 17th (Blade 01), both fuel stopped at Aviano.

Kostas, can you sent an up-dated situation at Tanagra?. Believe the 31 FW haven't received any CCIP (from HAI) yet.

New shots of Spang "Hogs" which are still deployed with the 81st EFS to Bagram AB, Afghanistan, were released today: http://www.spangdahlem.af.mil/news/stor ... =123095898" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

And so, at least the following five of either ten or twelve deployed jets are identified by USAF photos: 80-0281 (marked 81 FS), 81-0963, 81-0976, 81-0983 and 81-0992.

Hi,

About the deployed Spang A-10s. If there no aircraft changed during the period Jan-Apr also 81-0978,81-0980,82-0649(dep 4/1), 81-0984(dep 5/1),
12 a/c in total should be at Baghram. Possible other a/c are there as well:
79-0207,81-0945,81-0952,81-0954'81FS'. Maybe 1 or 2 are replaced...

Just wait and see when the Warthogs are coming back.

Maurits! Instead of 81-0954 (probably according to older scramble stuff), currently 80-0281 is special marked 81 FS as the squadron´s flagship. See: http://www.bagram.afnews.af.mil/news/st ... =123093620" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The exact number of deployed 81st EFS "Hogs" is still unknown to me. But I can say the following: It´s possible that air spares left Spang alongside the main package at least en route to the first stopover point (probably Sigonella). But it should be unrealistic that the 81st EFS replaced any deployed aircraft. And if yes, then two replacements must be deployed - related to the well-known wingman principle.

But as Maurits said: Just wait and see when the Warthogs are coming back.
