"Hogs" move forward again #FreeIran! -
-- #OperationEpicFury ---
A number of A-10C "Thunderbolt II" attack aircraft (also known as "HOGS") are on the move again from RAF Lakenheath (EGUL) this morning towards the Middle East as part of "Coronet East 032" with support from tankers flying out of Glasgow Prestwick Airport (EGPK):
KC-135R "BORA25" 58-0102 #AE0656
KC-135R "BORA26" 60-0349 #AE0687
KC-135R "BORA35" 62-3542 #AE0486
USAF United States Air Force - Coronet East
Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker 2x
#AE0656 58-0102 - BORA 25
#AE0486 62-3542 - BORA 35
+ TABOR 71-76 6x "MI" A-10s
+ TABOR 81-86 6x "MI" A-10s
Two KC-135s departed Glasgow Prestwick this morning on Coronet East 032, dragging 12x A-10 Thunderbolt IIs as TABOR 71/81 flights from RAF Lakenheath to an unknown location in the Middle East, likely Muwaffaq Salti Air Base based on recent C-17 flights. This will be the last of the A-10s that visited RAF Lakenheath, with TABOR 91 flight having departed last week.
