Denmark delivering refurbished F-16's to Argentina but not sure what route they are taking.
Supposed to arrive first in Brazil Dec 5th

RCH072 (60-0328) and RCH073 (63-8034) arrived today at Andrews from Fairchild AFB.
They should be supporting the F-16s to Natal in Brazil tomorrow on Coronet South 805Q.

166th AW has flown its final flight and has returned to Louisvillle Kentuckey where it originally served to become a static display.
Whoops, meant to put "166th AW C130H 91-1231" rather than just "166th AW" sorry for any confusion but yeah the C-130H 91- 1231has flown its last flight.

Interesting as back on Nov 13 the 166th C-130H flight went to Wyoming to reclaim one of their old C-130's #84-0207.
Thought 166th AW might retire that one or is it temp till they get another C-130H?
