As Bollo likes to keep people guessing, I've just been informed that...

Presumably from Papa, Chris, or further away??

Posted elsewhere as Redi 11 and Redi 21, sounds more like two flights rather than two aircraft.

Appreciate you sharing what you know. Will be there.

Post by **plmc135** » Thu Aug 04, 2016 2:46 pm

There are 8 Colorado F-16's at Papa the two already reported plus courtesy of Scramble 86-0368, 87-0227, 87-0237, 87-0241 and 87-0249 + 1 unidentified. I will be very surprised if eight don't turn up tomorrow, dependent on all the usual caveats. The call signs imply two flights.

Oh yes just noticed that
Redi11 and Redi21 does imply two flights of four.

Starting to get excited !

Again thanks for the heads up.

The Touchdown email was very specific 08:49Z ETA

According Scramble 7 F16's are expected.

Cheers,
Ranger

Post by **Rubberneck** » Thu Aug 04, 2016 6:33 pm

yep 7 flight planned REDI11 x4 & REDI21 X3

looks like only 7 out of the expected 8 actually made it across for the deployment at Papa - at least after trawling blogs, egroups, forums, photo websites, youtube and USAF sites I can only find serials for 7

see my post viewtopic.php?f=342&t=134215&p=833919#p833919
