Hi,

No, not for the tomorrow. The 4 Banter mentioned, are not even at their final destination. And looking at the weather for tomorrow, you don't wanna be at the runway end of Spang

I think you have to use a big 4x4 car or ''Langlauf-walk'' to the 23-eastern approach....

Just got word that TREND53,54 2xA10 arrived @ LICZ this afternoon from the east. Tails 78-0679/FT and 79-0138/FT. If they do come to Spang then it will be on Mon but subject to the Wx !

Special thanks for your very helpful update, Banter!

A-10s 78-0679 and 79-0138 (both from the 75th FS) deployed to Bagram AB, Afghanistan, with the original twelve-ship 75th EFS aircraft package.

Due to the partial A-10 grounding, 80-0140 (74th FS) and 80-0149 (75th FS) already relocated from Bagram to Spang for inspections and repairs.

I would be very grateful for any further support related to A-10 relocations from Bagram to Spang.

Correct , latest info is that the Tanker (BLUE21) stayed at LICZ 12hrs and then went back east ! So the question is ... are they waiting for more ?

Morning,

Last monday, an AN-124 was at Spang. Nice to see it next to a few C-17s, C-5, KC-10 etc.

Don't know if it was a f/v of an AN-124....
