The A-10(C) was 81-0980/SP.

Other activity so far: 7 x F-16 departing to the US and the a/c from Radom returning to base.

Indeed, the 81-0980/SP is an A-10C (modified/upgraded version).

The arriving aircraft from Radom:
J-015 (demo)
J-646 (spare)

Actually, there were only 6 F-16's leaving for the US (fuel-stop at Keflavik).
The 7th F-16 was a spare aircraft that 'burned some fuel' in the TMA-D over Volkel and then went for VFR to Leeuwarden.

The following aircraft were involved:
J-021
J-061
J-018
J-014
J-146
J-641
J-001 (spare?)
Accompanying tanker (T-235) was departing from Eindhoven at the same time.

Not sure which one the spare aircraft is, but I have read somewhere that it is most likely the J-001.
Can anyone confirm this?

So, after all the J-001 departed to the US the next day (1-9) together with 5 F-16's from Leeuwarden.
