More specifically Oahu, middle of January 1986. My grandparents took me to Hawaii my first time and while driving up the western shore to a beach with my uncle and cousins, we were overflown by a pair of OV-10s making rocket runs on a firing range (maybe Makua Valley). I'm thinking it was USAF OV-10As of the 22nd TASS because the memories jibe with gunship gray. and these photos look about right: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:OV-10A_22nd_TASS_taking_off_from_Wheeler_AFB_1984.JPEG https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:OV-10As_22nd_TASS_at_Wheeler_AFB_1984.JPEG

In case you want to do an "F-16C/D International Vipers Part 2:" Source 1, 2.

That scheme lives on https://www.dvidshub.net/news/423809/doors-off-guns-out-2-2-assault-helicopter-battalion-conducts-aerial-gunnery https://www.dvidshub.net/image/7290516/doors-off-guns-out-2-2-assault-helicopter-battalion-conducts-aerial-gunnery https://www.dvidshub.net/image/7523687/camp-humphreys-dmz-dustoff https://www.dvidshub.net/image/7523691/camp-humphreys-dmz-dustoff https://www.dvidshub.net/image/6446948/air-force-medics-conduct-medevac-training-with-army-aviation-battalion https://www.dvidshub.net/image/6446954/air-force-medics-conduct-medevac-training-w

If you look closely you can see Val Kilmer scurrying underneath trying to reprogram the laser... 😁

I believe this is actually a B-1A. /RivetCounter

"US Navy fighter pilot, 1974-1981 era with APH-6E/MS22001 mask, sitting 7, visor down" ?

That A-4M would look quite nice next to my Monogram OA-4M....

Not really wanting to be thread police here, but the F-16 info should really be in its own thread if only so it's easier to find in the future (as opposed to being buried in a thread about exterior markings for potential decals sheets.

Those markings already exists as in 1/48 Galaxy G48063 and Fab FA48071D.... and I feel like there's one more that I'm forgetting.

I'm in - Al White was a (somewhat distant) relative of mine.

FWIW, that's the same photo as the first link in Niels most recent post.

I live near Joint Base Lewis McChord where a bunch of them are based. Very interested.

I picked up the initial run of a FJ-3 to do a VF-61 Jolly Rogers bird... hopefully the re-run the kit and someone does decals some day so I don't have to raid other sheets to pull it off....

OK, so it appears that everyone has a default that might be different, is consistent to them, and doesn't show up in settings as an editable option.

Their site always defaults to the most expensive shipping. Just something you have to keep an eye out for and fix every time unless you REALLY want it fast. If you don't see a shipping option I'd refresh until you do.
