A10's return ?

Post by **Focal_Plane** » Thu Jul 09, 2015 6:50 pm

Was the scrubbed westbound Coronet today related perhaps?

Some due to go back stateside, some due to drop into LN perhaps? I know the 480thFS went to Nellis a few days ago but I thought I`d read somewhere that half the DM deployment were due home in July as well.

No the ALTRV is to high for the A-10, they will likely go back via Lajes. Not sure what the Coronet was for, hopefully find out tomorrow

According to the Warthog Blog Facebook page and the Aviationist the A-10s have gone back to Poland until they go home at the end of July

So I wouldn't expect any det to Lakenheath apart from the two going to Yeovilton / RIAT

Wonder if the two which will probably be there next week then will be flown.

LKZ? Lakenheath zone?

No just Lakenheath LKZ is the IATA 3-letter code, as EGUL is the 4-letter ICAO code.

O.k. In my old charts it used to be LKH. Cheers

Can somebody confirm how many A-10's have been at Lakenheath, assuming two have now gone to Fairford. Any news of them returning next week, and if they will be joined by the other A-10's still in Europe. Thanks

source airforce times:

"A-10s from Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona, will head home in August after a months-long tour across Europe to reassure allies after the incursion of Russian-backed separatists into Ukraine.

The A-10s, assigned to the 355th Fighter Wing at Davis-Monthan, will wrap up their tour with a four-day stay at Royal Air Force Lakenheath, England, where they will train with F-15Cs, and practice combat search and rescue."

enjoy

We heard them on the scanner yesterday down on the range at Holbeach, doing 'dry strafing cannon' runs, then the controller gave them ten minutes 'play time' !
