Hi 

Anyone know when this photo was taken please?

No later than 05 May 1994...  ☹️

edit: 525th stood down at Bitburg in April of 1992, but you probably already knew that.

This link from the National Archives says it was taken while they were deploying for Desert Shield: https://catalog.archives.gov/id/6471818.  The date is listed as January 1, 1990 but I've found when they only have the year of the photo they'll list it that way as Jan 1.  I believe the 36th TFW deployed in late December of 1990.

Thanks. Likely a QRA prior to deploying, and could be Jan 1st 1990. But definately prior to deployment to the sanbox, seems to be over Germany somewhere. Thanks for checking up for me, both of you.
