FYI - California Air National Guard - 194th F.S. 'Griffins'

Fresno is home of the California Air National Guard's 144th Fighter Wing / 194th Fighter Squadron. In 2013 the 194th was the latest squadron to convert to the F-15C/D E...

Re: Nellis December 19 2014.

You can also make some nice take off and landing pictures near the Speedway on Las Vegas Blvd. When the aircraft depart from rwy 03 and ask for a 'flex departure' drive to point 1 or even a bit further up north so you can photograph the jets in a left hand turn with approximately 400mm. When the air...

patches/batches/emblemen?

Wat ik me afvroeg: zijn er nog steeds mensen actief met het verzamelen van (USAF(E)) patches/emblemen? Vijftien jaar terug ben ik eens een tijdje actief geweest met het enthousiast verzamelen van deze stukjes stof en nu ben ik nu weer eens op zoek naar een paar nieuwe. Iemand nog enthousiast verzame...

Re: 65th Aggressor Squadron in Nellis

Such a shame we're gonna loose the 65th AGRS with their beautifull painted F-15C's and D's. Thankfully I had the opportunity to photograph a few last month at Nellis during Red Flag 14-3: 1. http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j144/Dartstaffel713/1_zps955ba469.jpg 2. http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/...

Re: Nellis AFB / Red Flag 14-3

Thanks for the compliments guys! And a flex departure at Nellis means that at the end off the runway 03 the departing aircraft will turn early left.
