REQ: Eglin AFB

Post by Oscar01 »

Hi,

Just wondering if anybody had experiences with spotting here from the outside. Looks like an interesting one these days with all the TY aircraft overhere....

Thanks in advance,
Oz

That's very difficult. Only place with a distant view on a runway and a ramp is next to the airport (with a nice preserved UH-1) for the rest there are only a view places where you can see them very high in approach (not ideal with Raptors)

I meant the AirPort terminal. That’s on north west side if I recall correctly.

Just returned. A spot for number crunching or photography?

Currently 12 CF-188 are deployed there along with some ZZ Eagles and VFA-125 F-35Cs. With the Tyndall T-38s and F-22s based there now along with the F-15s and F-16s of the test unit and F-35s of the 58th and VFA-101 this place is truly Fightertown USA!
