Yes, photoproof. Caught it arriving last tuesday morning.

Negative, I checked my pictures and it is still wearing the '22FS' CO titles.

Thank you mazzel, probabily they swop an aircraft at least last week, because noted today flying with the 510th FS was a "new" F-16CJ: 90-0813/SP.

(notes: as the departure day for the SANICOLE airshow turned out to be a low-key affair, I used my final vacancy day for a combined journey to Geilenkirchen and Spangdahlem, thus hunting interesting USAF aircraft. Luckily, the weather at Geilenkirchen was far better than forecasted and the two expected tankers arrived early and could well be enjoyed in nice sunshine. A fast car ride through the Belgian “Hautes Fagnes” to Spang allowed even for experiencing based aircraft returning from the morning missions, followed by sorties of 16 F-16s and three A-10s during the afternoon. A very nice suprise were two inbound A-10s each equipped with two travel-pods and an external fuel-tank. Also of interest were two based completely unarmed F-16s swopped for use on loan by the 31stFW at Aviano, the aircraft change supported by a visiting F-16D. Three very welcome visiting C-17s completed this great day under the sign of USAF operations)

A nice log, as always! One remark:
Are you sure about the second arriving A-10?

A-10A 81stFS 81-978/SP y L15:00
A-10A 81stFS 80-207/SP y L15:03

79-0207 is known for the unit, 80-0207 was last seen in March serving at DM.
Thanks!

sorry for the typo, just looked at my hand-written log_79-207 is correct!

[Stafhunter]

i was between 17:15u-18:00u at Spangdahlem and saw the next

00-0182 C-17A 62AW
69-0008 C-5A 105AW Reach221 landed 17:45u
80-0281/SP A-10A 81FS landed 17:55u
81-0963/SP A-10A 81FS landed 18:00u

SBS1 says A10A 81-0966/SP must off course 81-0963/SP

its look like the 00-0182 C-17A is for openday? its standing the whole week at Spangdahlem or it is damage because they where tuesday with a crane working on the stabilo
