Interesting, looks like VAQ-135 (expeditionary--'NL-52x'). Any idea on their destination (VMAQ-2 already at Bagram)?

Regards,
SD

Apparently was deployed to Bagram May thru September to supplement VMAQ-2. Anybody see them return to CONUS?

Didn't those VMAQ-2 Prowlers routed back to CONUS via Moron? See http://theaviationist.com/2012/10/04/us ... ers-moron/

These Growlers are now returning home. Expect them today at Lajes on a flight of 5 as Trend61 Flight. From VAQ-135.

About those Prowlers, on September 22nd arrived three from VMAQ-3 heading to afghanistan. VMAQ-2 made a stopover on Moron, due bad weather on Lajes.

Growlers are now on the ground.
