Spangdahlem AB 01122008 - FT Hog´s and locals - what a day


Recommended Posts

Hi gents,

In occasion with the for wing inspections and repairs 6 A-10 of 75th EFS based at BAGRAM AIR FIELD, Afghanistan diverted to Ramstein AB, Germany, due to fog at Spangdahlem AB in Germany on Nov 26, 2008. Mazda 81-84: 78-0674 (74th FS, marked 74 FS), 78-0697 (74th FS), 79-0138 (75th FS), 79-0186 (75th FS)Trend 53-54: 78-0679 (75th FS), 79-0192 (74th FS) All A-10´s are normaly flying with the 75th Fighter Squadron from Moody Air Force Base, Ga.Two A-10 arrived already earlier on Nov 8,2008 : FT 80-0140 & FT 80-0149 at Spangdahlem as "Trend 51" direct from Bagram Air Field. On the pictures you can see two A-10 which were flown into Spangdahlem from aircrews of the 81 Fighter Sqdn on December 1, 2008.

Still equipped with 600 US gallon Sargent Fletcher drop tank and a nicely adorned nose section, these are really rare sights in Europe.

Luckily on Monday the wx was better as expected in Spang , and so we were able to get at least two of them comming into SP :P

As there was also lots of locals flying on that day, it was a successfull day at SP and here are the results, and the pictures will tell the rest of the story.

Even a Canadian Globemaster arrived and so I´m really pleased with the results.

As always c & c are more as welcome, and thanks for watching :thumbsup:

Cheers,

Mick
