Ah great memories of the TAM88!! Nice to see some pictures again!
Here's an addition. I took this slide one on July 16th, but the F-16 sadly crashed just 10 days later.

Cheers,
Peter

Sad to see so much hardware has left this side of the ocean and most of it parked in a dessert or already scrapped. :cry:

Oh no!! :oops:
Only exuse I can think of is that it is shot on an USAFE base, but that is not a very good one, I know. Was too focussed on the 111 part...
Won't happen again :D

Two TR-1As of 95th RS at Alconbury. These photos were taken in September 1986 from outside the fence, very close to the TR-1 area.

I'll let you do the unit identification on this F-102A, some of you will know it better than I. It is presented here as a large image, as a tribute to those who knew what they were doing with B&W film back when. I scanned this from a a print made from a 4X5" negative about 12 years ago. The clouds, the aircraft, the scene, I think it fits the thread pretty well. What do you think? It's likely this photo has not been seen publicly before.
