Hi AMC,

ALL 18 serials are mentioned in the plan(s), and all are SP ones. So perhaps you missed 1 flight?

Regards,
Oz

correction of the departure date. The 12 F-16 left Spang on 28.04.11 as Mazda 41-46 and Mazda 51-56. Support was
Gold 96 and Gold 06 two KC-135 operating from Spang. Two KC-10 flew out of Ramstein as Gold 05 and Gold 95.
I´m confused about the return callsigns Cube 51, 71, 11!!! In the past they use callsigns in the row. Like the dep. callsigns.

AMC,

That has to do with different dates they are flying. The "other" callsigns are used already on those dates, as it's quite busy with AEF changes at the moment.

Cheers,
Oz

Hi AK01,

Nope, these are the final F-16s (3rd batch of 6). 6 A-10s just left (10 days ago) Spang for their deployment....
