Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Davis Monthan AFB 22 March 2024

Post by Rene Klok »

After the first wave of F-16s had departed from Tucson we drove to Davis Monthan AFB. Main reason was the deployment of Canadian CF-188 Hornets. But off course active A-10s where also very much appreciated.

A week later this A-10 was deactivated and moved to the neighbours of 309th AMARG.

A couple of F-16s from the neighbours at Tucson decided to practise an approach here.

All the former Aussies have been given these low numbers. Quite handy to identify them.
