Hi JJ,

I can confirm later today. This morning the remaining 3(!) A-10s will return. So in total, 13 were on deployment.

Kind regards,

13 "Hogs" on an OEF deployment with the 81st EFS??? Usually, 10 or 12 jets are deployed with an EFS for a four-month AEF rotation. 81-0952 is O.K. (verified by USAF photo). 81-0984 could be a typo or misinterpreted by Maurits as 81-0980 in the past (see above), but 81-0945 is absolute new for me.

Hi JJ,

All these 13 came from their FOL (I won't mention icao for operational reasons). So indeed, this time the deployment consisted of 13 a/c.

Other A-10s flying local missions today were 985 and 992.

Regards,
Oscar

Hi,

Be advised there were 2 missions of 4 a/c. One in the morning, one in the afternoon. So not 100% sure these were the a/c of the afternoon. Could have been others.

Oscar

Did this a/c wear 22FS Commander markings? if so, then it is the 90-0829.

Cheers Brian
