They've cancelled. Probably they'll try tomorrow.

At this moment are 4 A-10s inbound to Lajes!

According to U.S. Army Europe Public Affairs, their destination is Amari Air Base, Estonia. Please note: Last year, four A-10Cs from the 107th Fighter Squadron "Red Devils", 127th Wing (Michigan ANG), Selfridge ANGB, participated in "Saber Strike 2012" and were also stationed at Amari Air Base. BTW: I would be very grateful for the "MD Hogs" serial numbers and also for related pictures taken at Lajes and Amari.
