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.

Tucson IAP 23-25 March 2022 Mil

Post by Coen Pasterkamp »

Some photos from Tucson International Airport from 23 to 25 March 2022. The photos were taken from spot 4 in the airfield guide. The power cabinet, where you can stand on, is still there. Flying activity was good in the morning: 20+ F-16's.
There are a lot of civil aircraft parked on the apron in front of runway 11/29. They are temporarily out of service because of the COVID-19 pandemic, I assume. So the view on runway 11/29 is limited but it is still possible to take pictures.
Some ANG/AFRC F-16's with other tailcodes were present. I only saw one AC, CO, DC, FM and WI F-16.
Unfortunately the background with sunshades is terrible.

Awesome pics! And to be honest, I don’t mind the sunshades in the background, it just says “Tucson” to me.

Nice set indeed. Out of curiousity: why were all the other (non-based) Vipers there?

Regular AATC mission is to share knowledge to ANG AFRC units. Each ANG/AFRC F-16 unit sends one plane with an instructor pilot from that unit for a certain period.

OK, interesting. And not just random then, but all at the same time. Good timing by Coen ;-)

Interesting set! Especially that Colorado Viper is interesting, sporting the Vermont Air Guard name "Green Mountain Boys" still.
