Please note: In a couple of days, after at least one more stopover at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar, the 75th EFS will join the 451st Air Expeditionary Wing at Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan, to replace the 81st EFS. Anybody who knows that they would make a second stopover in Europe (Naval Air Station Sigonella)? I'm still not sure about that...
