Saturday, August 23rd:

In a way to entertain myself during my lonely ride home, I drove past the well-lighted AMC-ramp at 23.45 (!?) and identified C-5 70028. There was also a KC-10 on the ramp,which remains unknown.

Kind regards,

Kees

yess till 19-09 i heard but...... i also heard this:

TDY 6 AMX's been posponed to 05/26 Sept 2008 on Spang

[Polleke_NL]

So does this mean that AND 8 Tornado's, AND 6 AMXs will be deployed at Spang at the same time??

[Oscar01]

Hi Polleke,

SO FAR, it seems that that will be the case (both tornados and AMX), but I find it strange.

But indeed 6-8x AMX are expected this friday, and also heard already that 2 will change next week!

Could be a good periode for Spang.

Don't shoot the messanger if they don't show up
Oscar

Ps: Deployment AMX is combination of 32nd and 51st St a/c.

[FISHER01]

8 tornado's (50stormo) are planned to come today and stay till 19sept (1-19sep-08)
6 amx(32and 31stormo) are planned to come friday and stay till 26sept (05-26sept-08)

and also please don't shoot this messenger if they don't come

[Polleke_NL]

What will be the purpose of this deployment? Could we expect them to fly every working day or will there be non-flying days as with TLP?
Will the C-27 participate too or is that one "just" for support ?

[Oscar01]

Hi,

They will fly normall missions, just like the Tornados did in may.

Next week some AMX will already change.

Oscar
