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 [edited by Warthog News]: Three missions on Thursday. Two-ship mission at morning: A-10Cs 81-0966 and 82-0654 (Take-off 10H08 as a pair, Landing 11H47). Afternoon I: Two-ship mission of A-10Cs 81-0966 and 82-0654 (Take-off 14H23; Landing 16H20). Before landing they made some beautiful passages in formation with PoAF F-16s 15112 and 15132. Unfortunately the weather doesn't help. Afternoon II: Single-ship mission of A-10C 82-0656 (Take-off 16H30, Landing 17H10). Tomorrow photos of departure...
