This is pretty fabulous news!

Six month deployments like those in Korea and Kadena is even better than based aircraft!

Hoping that the planning committee of FF2015 has read this as well. Would be a nice addition...

Off topic: that planning committee is planning a surprise (+ the surprise at EHEH ofcourse)

Nice, worth a visit to Spang soon would be nice to see those CF188 together with A10's and F16's.
The old times revive!

Not 'BL' but 'bl' (for blue, the fintip colour)

Is it right that it's not the 91-0991 DM but the 81-0991 DM?? (http://forum.scramble.nl/viewtopic.php?p=749984)
