Hi JJ,

I can confirm that there were no Spang A-10's at Salina, KS. I've seen the list with participating squadrons and serialnumbers.

Don't know where the 81FS Boys ended up though.

Regards,
DJ

Thanks for your reply in case of Hawgsmoke 2008, DJ! (Please check your PMs)

On the other hand: What could be the final destination of the four 74th FS Hogs (spotted by George)? BTW: As known, the 75th EFS with 12 A-10Cs is already deployed for OEF to Bagram AB, Afghanistan.

The 4 A-10s should have landed in Sigonella earlier today as Trend 41 flight.

Just a short question ;

The CV-22's , did they arrive without refueling in the air ???

Because I don't see any refueling probe.

They are really replacements! Check the latest news on my blog. Just found by searching Yahoo! News. Anybody who spotted the 75th EFS FT Hogs which moved from Bagram to Spang for inspections?
