In contrast, a personal contact from the United States told me today: "The 75th finally left Qatar and arrived in Aviano yesterday (Sunday). Don't know if they'll get out today or not. They might be in Lajes by now if they got out today. [...]"

Because there are still no new related updates in the Aviano and Lajes threads, please let me ask you here: Any 100% verification for their stopover either at Sigonella or Aviano? Also wanted are their serial numbers.

I would be very grateful for any support.

Thank you, Banter. I hope to get stopover pictures from at least one of my Lajes contributors later today.

According to Associated Press (AP), A-10s attacked near Brega on Monday.

Anyone who can/will provide latest info about 81st Fighter Squadron A-10Cs at Aviano AB?
