They will depart Saturday from Moody to Lajes.

Some say from there they go to Spang, some say they go direct to Amari.

Time will tell, at least this would mean arrival at their destination beginning of next week.

Hmm, I disagree. If I read that report correctly it actually quotes about a dozen aircraft departing DM (355thWG) back in February for Spangdahlem and doesn't refer to where the 23WG aircraft will go.

Indeed, that was the old DM-deployment from Feb: "About 300 airmen and 12 A-10s with the 355th Fighter Wing in February began departing Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona for Spangdahlem Air Base in Germany as part of a security theater package." He read it too fast I guess.

Nevertheless, it is the most logical (initial) destination. Just curious whether it would be a Sunday arrival or Monday..

When we were at Amari, they told us the A10s would be there to relieve the KC A10s. But no time frame for now so maybe both bases?

There is an alt res for Monday from Lajes into Europe for A-10s (level 150-210). However, this is entering UK, and could both end up at either Spang or Estonia.

Mind that this res is relatively early (08.00-11.30z), which either means they will land Spang mid afternoon, or still go a long way to Estonia.

So wait and see. At least no A-10s in this part of Europe before monday.
