| U.S. Air Force A-10 attack planes have arrived in Estonia |
| 2015-05-06 |
The aircraft belong to the first Air Force Theater Security Package deployed to Europe for about 6 months to augment U.S. Air Force in Europe support to Operation Atlantic Resolve, and reassure regional allies. The TSP Warthog attack planes continue to move across eastern Europe: first, the 12 A-10s from the 355th Fighter Wing, Davis-Monthan AFB, Arizona, deployed to Spangdahlem airbase, in Germany, then some "Hogs" were relocated in the UK, others in Poland, some in Romania. |

| #4 Let's see... you have an aircraft you'd like to be rid of. Move them all overseas, stepped up optempo, low maintenance support, use it to train a lot of foreign pilots. Problem solves itself. (I know. I sound cynical. Every time I get cynical, it turns out I'm right.) |

| #3 Maybe the hogs will be safe from Air Force brass in Estonia. |

| #2 I hate to think the same people at DAF who bad mouth it as mothball bait think that now deploying them would do anything but make Putie smile at such an empty gesture. |

| #1 I'd hate to think they're using a hog as bear bait. |
