Do we know if they will begin the transition in 2010 or 2011? Also, have there been any exact aircraft serials listed yet? I know they are to get them from the 34fs and 36fs but this is the first Ive heard!!!! This is my home unit!!!!

Hello Bandit,

The WI ANG in Madison and the CO ANG were about to receive a mix of Block-40 aircraft both from the 388th FW at Hill AFB, UT and the 36th FS / 51st FW at Osan AB, Korea starting last year!!

The CO ANG at Buckley AFB was on a "fast track" to receive Block-40s from the above mentioned squadrons at Hill and Osan, but so far this never materialized.

The 52nd FW at Spangdahlem AB, Germany is unaffected as we spak - meaning, at least, that the Block-50s supposed to transfer to the 36th FS at Osan have not left - thereby no Block-40s have left Osan and the 34th EFS has just started a 120 day tour in Afghanistan!!

I doubt that it will take effect any time soon now.

Cheers,

Henrik.

Hello bandit!!

Last thing I´ve heard on this is that the CO ANG will keep their current Block-30 aircraft for the next 18 months, at least!!

Cheers,

Henrik.
