Whoop de Whoop if they're staying for 2 weeks I've scored a right result.

Am having 2 days off next week prior to RIAT 1 day at CBY & the Indians are due in (Thurs 16th) & then Friday Lakenheath hoping the Hogs will be out.

If it all pans out I couldn't have planned it better if I'd tried.

Anybody knows how long the Hogs will be in Europe? Hoping to see a pair at Radom or here in Malta

Can't say I've seen any A-10 HEXs being picked up over Germany so far today

NAVPI is the wrong way for these A-10s, they were meant to be arriving from Spang in Germany!

I thought NAVPI was off the coast between the UK and Holland,heard this waypoint many times with mil aircraft going in and out of europe and the uk.

There's a post on our Facebook page saying the two A-10s going to Yeovilton Air Day are due at Lakenheath after. Not seen anything regarding the rumoured other four. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid ... =1&theater
