Hi again,

Ken, you're ANG F-15 pics are always gorgeous, and I would love to shoot some ANG F-15s in decent light, from any State! The only chance I got a few years ago with some Louisiana birds at Lakenheath was spoilt by bad light. Here's a few more of my local jets from Lakenheath in the last week or so.

Taken yesterday, this one shows a Sniper pod, which isn't that common while they're in the UK.

Gary - thanks for the kind words - trust me - I have lots of shots in lousy weather. These past 2 Fridays I have lucked out big time.

I really like your LN shots!

Nice ken, Figure what the scoop is on the Names? For a wile there, thought possibly crew chief was under the Pilots name. Now seams they also have names on the right side?

thanks Wayne - the crew chief is under the pilot's name on the left side, and another crew is on the right. I assume it is an assistant crew chief. It was like that on their A-10s as well, and even the same placard shape from the A-10s

Nice shot of the tails on the D.

With the old, domed antenna on a 78 D model, and on the left tail instead of the right. The right tail looks like it may have been shaved down, probably somebody got a little too enthusiastic on their areobrake.

Regards,

Murph
