For the first time since 2001 around 100 members of the 178th Fighter Wing of the Ohio Air National Guard based at Springfield will fly overseas to Kecskemet, Hungary. The 178th will participate with the Hungarian Joint Force command as part of a two-week training exercise. Most of the members will fly separately, with the fighter jets to follow. Originally the jets were to have left on Thursday April 22nd, but the flight lane disruptions from the erupting Iceland Volcano have delayed that. Look for the jets to take-off in the pre-dawn hours of Saturday morning the 25th. The 178th normally use the callsign "BUCKEYE" for transit outside of Ohio.
