Just in time for the departure of the E-6 and some sun later that day. Pitched our tent next to the base and took a drive around to read all that was there.

The A-10's made the day/trip! The same two Eagles as yesterday + one more. Luckily we were able to witness the 81st FS arriving for their deployment.
That was it. Weather and flying activity could have been better but it was fun. Any help with missing serials greatly appreciated.
