The presence of P-80s in USAFE was pretty short. They arrived April 24, 1946 and were assigned  to the 55th  Fighter Group, XII Tactical Air Command, stationed at Giebelstadt, U.S. Zone, Occupied Germany.  Because of spare parts problems, they were all returned to the U.S. (called the Zone of the Interior, or ZI, at that time). This photo shows one at Fürstenfeldbruck AAF base near Munich, Bavaria.
