Re: RAF Typhoon Squadron markings
It all started going wrong in my opinion when they went from individual squadron marked aircraft with E.G. IX(B) jets being A* 14 being B* 17(F) being C* and 31 being D* for example in the case of the Bruggen wing and the Tornado F3 with 43 being G* and 111 being H* to a fleet based scheme with code...

Great shots of the Hercs

Re: Question for the regulars re 493rd
Think each squadron has a strength of 24 jets with the 493rd having less as some have already been reassigned to units in the states.
31 jets away from probably a strength of about 60 less jets in maintenance or like 84-001 long term broken so I reckon no more than 20 active on base at the minute.
