As far as I know only 81st FS is on deployment in the desert. As both 22nd FS and 23rd FS still at home. But some AMC traffic can expected.

Robert the 22 FS has been deactivated a couple months ago, so only 23 FS remains!

Neither of them is deactivated yet ( or perhaps they are both deactivated ? ).... Both should be deactivated, to form a new larger unit.

Fact remains, you need to have some luck to spot the locals flying... I have been there last year ( september ) and only saw a few A-10's ... Reports have also come along with up to 12 F-16's flying along up to 6 A-10's plus AMC/visitors...

Grtz, Rene
