Lajes (Azores) (LPLA/TER) 2008

[J.J.]

There´s also an interesting USAF photo essay "Indian air force trains with Mountain Home AFB Airmen" (seven pictures included): http://www.mountainhome.af.mil/news/sto ... =123107662" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Hope that helps a little bit more to document this historic Indian air force Su-30 deployment to CONUS. And I will have watchful eyes on the web for their arrival at Nellis AFB for Red Flag...

I'm surprised that the S-3s are flying at all let alone that they are tanking across the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. I have never seen this before. What are the Vikings doing? Anyone knows why they are being deployed when they have been retired from the big decks?

The vikings are enroute to the gulf region. Lajes is also expecting prowlers today.....

[sentinel]

With the spate of movements going through Lajes this week do we have any confirmed sightings and serials which can be shared.

5 EA-6Bs
4 S-3s
4 F-16A/B
4 F-16I

The Navy must be in a rotation cycle with USAF assets to follow.

I managed to learn these Retro 61-64 are Israeli AF F-16s. But don't know their exact destination.
