| Description |
English: Lockheed P-80A-1-LO Shooting Star (FT-043, s/n 44-85043), 334th Fighter Squadron, 4th Fighter Group, at Hamilton Field, probably 1948.
In July 1948, 16 P-80A Shooting Star (since 11 June 1948 new designation F-80A) of the 56th Fighter Group were transferred by air to Fürstenfeldbruck "Fursty" (Bavaria, Germany) for a maximum of 45 days. The aircraft came from the three squadrons 61st, 62nd and 63rd FS(J), whereby the serials s/n 44-85033 and 44-85041, among others, are documented for Fürstenfeldbruck. The P/F-80A (s/n 44-85043) of the 4th Fighter Group recorded at Hamilton Field in 1948 and the above-mentioned F-80A of the 56th FG came from the first large production block of 501 P-80A-1-LOs from 1945 and 1946. It is very likely that the F-80A of the 56th FG also flew to Giebelstadt and Kitzingen AB on training flights in July and August 1948. The redeployment of the F-80A contingent of the 56th Fighter Group is said to have begun on 14 August 1948 from Fursty, after the first F-80Bs of the 36th Fighter Group had arrived at Fursty by air from RAF Station Renfrew/Scotland. [1] Deutsch: Im Juli 1948 wurden auf dem Luftweg 16 P-80A Shooting Star (seit 11.06.1948 neue Bezeichnung F-80A) der 56th Fighter Group für max. 45 Tage nach Fürstenfeldbruck "Fursty" (Bavaria, Germany) verlegt. Die Maschinen entstammten den drei Staffeln/Squadrons 61st, 62nd und 63rd FS(J), wobei für Fürstenfeldbruck u. a. die Serials s/n 44-85033 u. 44-85041 nachgewiesen sind. Die 1948 in Hamilton Field aufgenommene P/F-80A (FT-043, s/n 44-85043) der 4th Fighter Group, sowie die o.g. F-80A der 56th FG entstammten dem ersten großen 501 Exemplare umfassenden Fertigungsblock P-80A-1-LO aus den Jahren 1945 u. 1946. Sehr wahrscheinlich wurden auf Ausbildungsflügen im Juli und August 1948 auch Giebelstadt und Kitzingen AB von den F-80A der 56th FG angeflogen. Die Rückverlegung des F-80A-Kontingents der 56th Fighter Group soll am 14.08.1948 von "Fursty" aus begonnen haben, nachdem die ersten F-80B der 36th Fighter Group auf dem Luftweg von RAF Station Renfrew/Schottland in "Fursty" eingetroffen waren.
