Very impressive Jake!!!

Quick question to you and some others...

Do the 178th Fighter Wing Ohio Air National Guard F-16s fly block 50's? Thanks.

No, they're block 30s. Their article is at http://www.jakemelampy.net/ohiosabers.html

Gary, I'm the same way. I have a very short attention span when it comes to models!

Thanks, Greg!

Awesome as always Jake!

Maybe if you get another day in Tulsa, we can work a dual photo-op. They are the closest fighter unit to me, I believe.

Then there is always McConnell when I get settled in.

You're on, buddy! I'm plannng another trip this spring chasing Vipers, and Tulsa may be in my sights.

Koen, the site is a bit F-16 heavy right now, but there are some other things in the works. I'm currently about halfway done with the 445AW site, so it should be up by late tomorrow.

Yeah that's more like it! I already miss seeing them at Ramstein really. :bandhead2: Excellent shots once again and I can't wait for their Galaxy's to show up at Ramstein!

I think you've got a while before the C-5s start flying airlift missions. The first two jets that arrived back in October haven't moved since. they're being used as ground trainers.

Superscale 32-079

Excellent work Jake, and thanks for the CD! :wacko:

You're welcome, Greg. What did you think of it?

That's a shame. Some of the units that transitioned to the C-17 had a habbit of showing up at Ramstein fairly soon after they received them, as did the TN ANG when they started getting C-5's.

Ah well they'll show up at some time I guess...

Hi Jake!

Got any VTANG hero shots in the works?

Regards,

Pig

Hey, Pig! They're in the works. In fact, I was on the phone with them just today.

Gonna have to get the CD and see what the fuss is all about :

You got it, Dave. I'll send one out to you ASAP.

I talked to "JR", today, too.

Much appreciated on sending the disk Jake,I can't wait to see the bunch'o Viper pics you took :thumbsup:

Yeah, something like that. This one requires a bit more coordination, if you know what I'm talking about. I'll e-mail you later tonight.

great stuff as usual Jake - AZ ANG F-16s are among my favorite tail markings

Thanks, Ken. I like the Tucson folks, too, although they could stand a bit more colorful markings.

Jake,

Those are truly some beautiful photographs of beautiful airplanes. Being retired USAF, I am always interested in airplanes, but especially so with the C-141's that brought the POW's home. Several of my friends were guests on those flights.
