Lajes direct to Estonia with an A10? Flying time 8 hours? Quite a long ride I would say.
Lets wait and see

Lajes to Estonia is just over 4200km. No idea how long that would take in an A-10. As long as they bring a magazine, some inflight snacks and a bag for bodily fluids it should work alright?
Florida to Lajes is over 6700km.

That logistic planes go directly to the final destination is logical. They just need a light cross-servicing at Lajes and ... (maybe) SP ...Eric van Lisdonk wrote:Several transport is going to Ameri at this moment. C-5M 85-0008 has now been departed from that base aswel.
Wait and see.
Any update is more than welcome
Thanks.
