So only in total 6 A-10C (4 landed yesterday plus the above 2 I expect) for Lechfeld?

Earlier mentioned there suppose to be 12 A-10s at Lechfeld.

The ID A-10s are at Lechfeld, the MD and MI went for Amari. Original reports were 12 at Lechfeld, 6 at Jagel for week 1, and the other way around for week 2. It seems that that has completely shifted, and its 12 for Amari and 6 for Lechfeld currently.

Is it possible to see/read all the parked participants at Hohn and Schleswig from outside these airfields?

Looking at the photos I've seen so far the answer must be yes. Perhaps unservicable a/c would be hangared though.

FC does sometimes report it wrong. Six A-10 will relocate to Jagel on 16.6.

The Polish AF F-16 will only stay for one or two days.

Three more HuAF Gripen are planned for 8.6.
