50th AS deployment to SE Asia

Post by wamovements »

Airmen and aircraft from the 50th Airlift Squadron "Red Devils" left for deployment to Southwest Asia April 28, 2011. This group is the first of nearly 20 C-130 aircraft and 1,000 Airmen slated to leave for deployments in the next week.

This is the first deployment of Airmen and aircraft from Little Rock Air Force Base following an F-2 tornado that struck the base the evening of April 25 and damaged more than 100 on-base housing units, damaged three C-130 aircraft and blew the roofs off and damaged many buildings in the base's flightline area.

Probably some of the C-130's will make a stop in Europe: Currently on their way to Europe are:
92-0548, 92-0551, 92-0554 and 93-1038

The transit ramp at Prestwick should be busy with these C-130s at a guess.

At least 3 (20548, 20551 & 20554) of these went through Mildenhall last weekend.
