Anyone know which A-10s will be on display at the air tattoo in 2 weeks´ time?

If, it will be 52FW from Spangdahlem.

Can't remember seeing any other units since Woodbridge and Bentwaters closed.

thanks!

According to the RIAT web site, the 81 FS will provide the static bird...

that link seems to want to mail them, copy and paste the txt in ur browser..

they said that they'd have a static a couple of years ago, they didn't have a static - but they did a demo..

i took a load of prints down for the pilots, i gave them to some F-15 jocks who said they knew the hawg guys, i dont' know if they got them or not..

Sorry, I don't know why it does that. Just go to...

and click on 'AIRCRAFT PARTICIPATION' and 'US MILITARY'

That'll show you that the 81 FS is scheduled to have a static display a/c.

I think the numbers 81-966 (with doorart) or 81-956 (with yellow painted points in the middle of the rear wheels). The last one was also static at ILA Berlin and Open House Spangdahlem.

Probably due to the jets being somewhere else due to popular demand!

I thought (and remember) they had 2 Warthogs on static display last year. Or was that the year before?
At the show in the Netherlands was also no A-10 to see on static.
When there are A-10's on show, most time on static and no flying <img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>

I hope you will without the Warthog a good airshow at Fairford, Lunanera.

thank you Dutchy, I´m sure I will although the plane I was really looking forward to seeing was the hog

i was gonna try and make it, but now they've pulled out - i'm not going to bother..

I heard the Osprey is coming. This is what I found what is not coming. And yes, the Warthog stays home or on deployment.
You find it by the arrows on the right.
