At Monte Real Air Base, Portugal, aviation photographer Marco Casaleiro from Portugal had the opportunity to take more shots of participating A-10Cs from the 81st Fighter Squadron, 52nd Fighter Wing (USAFE), Spangdahlem AB, Germany. Via e-mail, Marco told me: Mission this afternoon: Take offs 14H38: 82-0654, 82-0650, flight formation (81-0966, 81-0962), Landing 16H59: 81-0962, 81-0966, 82-0654, 82-0650. Before landing all made a few low-passes and low-approach (Magnificent).
