SocialD Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 This 'DO' tail-coded jet was with the 89 TFS, 906 TFG at WPAFB, which unless I'm mistaken, was an AFRES unit. You are not mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sketch Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 This 'DO' tail-coded jet was with the 89 TFS, 906 TFG at WPAFB, which unless I'm mistaken, was an AFRES unit. Which sadly no longer flies as they converted to F-16As before being disbanded in 1994. Nice picks. I miss the F-4s and those smokey J79's. I've only seen QF-4Es fly and they are still among the loudest jets ever, even more then some of the newer ones. Heres a few more A-10s: 18th TFS: MA ANG 104th FW: F-15Cs from the 33rd TFW, 58th TFS: Credits to the photographer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lloyd christmas Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Which sadly no longer flies as they converted to F-16As before being disbanded in 1994. The 89th never disbanded. The 89th Fighter Squadron was converted to a Airlift Squadron in 1994 and continue to fly at Wright Pat. Still the Rhinos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stract Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 (edited) HH-43: the original Pedro! BTW, your sense of scale is waaaaay off. I'm not sure how anyone could confuse an H-21, CH-47, and HH-43.

HuggyU2 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Ah, the flying banana. Theres still one or two of them flying around the west coast airshow circuit. Yes there are! First time I saw one fly was Pt Mugu Airshow in 2010. Watching it crank up to leave was cool. It's a Wright piston engine that powers it. A great piece of history.
