  1. There was an intercept near Iceland back in 2003. :)
  2. The museum's four HAFB Flight Test "White Birds" F-4s will be restored and placed in formation on pedestals in the Memorial Park. Here are some of the pics I found on the museum's webpage The 4 Phantoms that will be in the formation are: McDonnell Douglas F-4C-21-MC "Phantom II" S/N 64-0664 McDonnell Douglas F-4D "Phantom II" S/N 66-8711 McDonnell Douglas F-4E "Phantom II" S/N 68-0304 McDonnell Douglas RF-4C "Phantom II" S/N 65-0905 http://www.hill.af.mil/museum or http://www.hill.af.mil/museum/info/F-4restoration.htm for more pictures.
  3. Great pic! :) And of course you can not go wrong when you have the snow covered Wasatch mountains in the background. :D
  4. The pic even made it into Code One Magazine that year. http://www.codeonemagazine.com/events/arp_00/events_30.html
  5. Someone mention Predators!!! :blink:
  6. Thats one way to test our own weapons against stealth technology.
  7. It has landed after 35 mins of flying.
  8. March: 24 Tyndall AFB, Fla. I wonder if that means Tyndall's air show will be a 1 day or 2 day show? :blink: But looks like Hill AFB will not have a show since typically they only have an airshow when the Thunderbirds will be in town.
  9. Here are some pics from the B-57 at the musuem out at Hill AFB, Ut. Museum restoration volunteers have repainted the aircraft to closely resemble its gloss black appearance while flying the SHARP CUT missions.

  11. Foxtwo, Being in the sandbox means being in the desert area where its nothing but sand; such as Iraq and other Middle Eastern countries. Others correct me if I'm wrong.
  12.

  13. Really liked that last photo...talk about a low flyby.
  14. I'm looking for pics of 555 FS F-16CG block 40 tail # 88-0435. It flew a flag for me last year in Iraq and was wanting to put a good picture of the jet along w/ the flag and certificate. Thanks.
  15. IIRC, the museum at Hill AFB is slated to get an F-117 post removal of the RAM material and other classified parts.
  16. I agree with you Duane it is sad to see it in its original paint scheme.
  17. Great pics Nut. I love seeing the Raptor fly and all the cool things it can do. I also love the signature.
  18. Great pictures. For now I will have to get my viper fix off the net. But soon I will be seeing Eagles and Raptors flying @ Tyndall.
  19. I sent you an email with some pictures. There are some also at Air Force Link here under the story titled Awaiting Orders
  20. F-15 pilot hits 4,000 hours By Bruce Rolfsen Times staff writer Somewhere over the Midwest on Aug. 8, Col. Jon “JB†Kelk became the first pilot to log 4,000 hours in F-15A/D Eagle cockpits, officials said. Kelk, director of operations for the Missouri Air National Guard, said it was luck that kept him in F-15 flying assignments for the past 24 years, 10 on active-duty and 14 with the guard. Kelk, 47, said reaching the 4,000-hour mark on a sortie flown out of Lambert Field, Mo., close to where the F-15 was built, was especially meaningful. “The flight was a tribute to the people who
  21. I have a few pictures that I took of the Predators over in the desert.
  22. From what I have heard they are not painting it in the orange and white scheme but will paint it grey w/ 388fw markings. So much for "Little Precious" maintaining her test wing colors.
  23. Just a heads up: a volunteer at the Hill Aerospace Museum painted a mural of the Thunderbirds and 98% of the team *enlisted and officer* signed it friday night. The mural should still be at the museum possibly in the back fighter gallery if anyone wants to stop by and check it out. Here is a picture of it.
  24. Mark "Tina" Turner was the Hornet pilot. His backseater's callsign is "NUTS". I went again today and now just need to weed thru all the pictures I took.
