The russian was in support to the 555th FS deployed today to somewhere south of Libano.....
The 510th deployed last week to Afghanistan, than some quite weeks are expected in Aviano!

Bongiorno Mauritzio,

You wouldn't happen to have a record of which "triple nickels" deployed .......

[Maurizio]

Just seen the second cell: 89-2023, 90-0773, 87-0350, 87-0355(510) 89-2008(510) 89-2068 "Cube 21-26".

They were followed by "Nickel 51-54" going to Tanagra, don't know if fuel-stopping for further place or not.

Hey Maurizio,

Didn't - at the time - realise it was 16 chicks (duh, 6, 2nd 6 and 4 more!) You'll be pleased to know that they are all safe and well and - the moderator will hate me - parked on the "Palm Trees" at Nevatim AFB. Readable between haze and sand storms from Tel Masos (aka Zwarovski Point) this afternoon were F-16Cs (87) 351, (88) 425, 525 and one (mis)read as 445, (89) 008, 011, 023 & 178 (D), (90) 772 & 773. I assume we can add 87-0350, 0355 & 80-2068 to these, so needless to say, if anyone happens to clock them returning to AV, I for one would be very grateful for a few more candidates!

[Maurizio]

All sixteen Nickels just returned at home.

Hi,

I was wondering about the current activity level of Aviano. I wanted to go there for 1-2 days but as it's a quite far drive for me, I wanted to know how busy the base is currently. Can anyone help me with that?

Cheers,
g.

[Maurizio]

The 510th is deployed middle East and the 555th is currently flying mostly night missions.

[ghostrydder]

Thanks for that info! Do you also have any information when 510th is coming back?

Cheers,
g.
