"Warthog Day" Ft. Smith, Arkansas


Recommended Posts

Here is what it looked like above the weather. My herk was one of the two beating up the pattern. We joined with the A-10s and F-16s for a photo op after the pattern work.

Hey ARGuard, Bobby Dugger was with us on Saturday. What was the serial number and call sign of your Herc?? Was that you guys practicing the 3 engine go arounds???

Thanks, Andy

Andy, we always go by the call sign Props and I think we were Props 72 that day. Either way we were in 1824 and yes we were simulating EPs. I spoke with Bobby and I understand you guys were pretty much on the runway taking pics. I am sure your pics of us turned out pretty good.

Hello my Fort Smith Warthog friends. Well I am back from the races. Got in at 0345. Very tired but great race. It was good to meet all of you photo guys at the show Sat. I am going to say that I LOVE the new paint scheme. Any of you decals folks that want shots and will do a decal of it let me know I would think it would be a great decal. I think it is awesome to see an Arkansas Razorback on the nose of a HOG. Hey B-swiny great to see you put some pics on the site awesome job on the aerial shots my Loadmaster brotha. Here are a few of my pics I got from Sat.

I figure I would post some photos of Warthog Day that are not included in the article I did for Fencecheck (Roger got the pick of the litter).
