English: RF-80A of the 38th Tac Recon Squadron / 10th TRW. RF-80A-15-LO, FT-330 (s/n 44-85330) of the 38th TRS(Ph-J) Tactical Recconaissance Squadron, 10th TRW at Spangdahlem AB Germany, 1954. The 32nd & 38th TRS are based at Spang from mid-May 1953 to July 31, 1957. From mid-1952 to May 1953 the squadrons are based at Fürstenfeldbruck AB (32nd with two yellow lightnings on the fuselage mid-section) and Neubiberg AB (38th with two blue lightnings on the fuselage mid-section). Two red lightnings on fin belonged to the 10th TRW. The RF-80A with the little hook boss (in German Hakennase or Buckelnase) is a RF-80A-15-LO, modified from P-80A s/n 44-85330. In all probability the RF-80As of the 32nd&38th TRS are temporary based at Giebelstadt AB in 1952 to mid-1956. [1]
Deutsch: RF-80A-15-LO, FT-330 (s/n 44-85330) der 38th TRS(Ph-J) Tactical Recconaissance Squadron, 10th TRW in Spangdahlem AB, BR Deutschland, 1954. Die 32nd & 38th TRS waren in Spang von Mitte Mai 1953 bis 31. Juli 1957 stationiert. Zuvor, ab Mitte 1952 bis Mai 1953 waren die Squadrons in Fürstenfeldbruck AB(32nd mit zwei gelben Blitzsymbolen auf dem mittl. Rumpfabschnitt) und Neubiberg AB (38th mit zwei blauen Blitzsymbolen auf dem mittl. Rumpfabschnitt) beheimatet. Zwei rote Blitzsymbole auf dem Seitenleitwerk bezeichneten das 10th TRW (10. Taktisches Aufklärungsgeschwader). Die RF-80A mit der kleinen Haken- bzw. Buckelnase ist eine aus der P-80A, s/n 44-85330, modifizierte RF-80A-15-LO. Mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit war auch Giebelstadt AB sporadische Abstellungsbasis für die RF-80As der 32nd & 38th TRS zwischen 1952 und Mitte 1956.
