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! Jake Link to post Share on other sites
Koen L Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 I'm not a big F-16 fan but I do enjoy your website, keep it up as the photo's are very nice! Koen Link to post Share on other sites
jmel Posted December 8, 2005 Author Share Posted December 8, 2005 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. Jeff 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. Jake Link to post Share on other sites
jmel Posted December 8, 2005 Author Share Posted December 8, 2005 The 445th Airlift Wing's article is also finished, for those desiring something besides F-16s. Jake Link to post Share on other sites

Excellent shots once again and I can't wait for their Galaxy's to show up at Ramstein!Koen 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 32-079Excellent work Jake, and thanks for the CD! :wacko: You're welcome, Greg. What did you think of it? Jake Link to post Share on other sites
Koen L Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 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... Koen Link to post Share on other sites

jmel Posted December 11, 2005 Author Share Posted December 11, 2005 Getting another trip lined up? 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 Link to post Share on other sites
yardbird78 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 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.
