Probably they'll now recoded in Moody to FT... These A10s were six months deployed on middle east.

This night, Two USAF F16 arrived at Lajes as MAZDA11 flight!! I guess one of the has some problems and diverted into.
Neither other fighter or tanker arrived.

I expect Mazda13/16 and 21-26 will continue to Moron(?)
