Hi George,

That sounds strange to me, AFAIK India hasn't ordered any F-16's....Maybe you've seen the abbreviation IAF, in that case I guess they will be Israeli's.

Anyway, nice to see the movements from Lajes, hope to go there someday. Keep 'm coming!

Bas

[falcon]

yeah sounds strange to me, i quess it will be Israelish.......

[falcon]

little confusion about the A-10's, but here is the correct info.

seen this week at lajes where,
11 A-10's code's MD
11 A-10's code's SP
6 A-10's code's ID
6 A-10's code's PA
plus all the supporters

oh my god !!!

[Thijs]

11 A-10's code's SP

Doesn't fit with the radiolog. Maybe another one did make it on his own to Lajes. Or is the info attracted from flightplans? Which mentioned a flight of 11.

What a field !!!

Indeed, quite a busy place for such a small island
Then again, it´s ofcourse very well situated for ferry flights between the US and Europe and the middle east.
