Fallon NAS (KNFL/NFL) - 2010 MIL

Post by John Wildman »

Fallon NAS 4th October.

Nevada, thunderstorms, thick mud, low cloud, no sunshine, cool - you must be joking? - no it really was like that and the visit was almost called off. However the gods relented slightly during the day and a window of opportunity came by and this is what was seen.

The serials were all read off or from photos, except for some in the Air Power Park (mostly the ex E European) and the a/c on the Gate.
Couldn't see any signs of dumped F-4's or F-5's, but there again we didn't look that hard.

Any corrections / additions would be very welcome.
Having just previewed this it doesn't come out as well, format wise, as typed in, but I hope you can still make sense of it?

Thanks for sharing your log. The EA-6B's are operated by VAQ-134.

By the way, 164401 should be 163401.

Hello Melchior,
Well I have just looked at the picture I took of this a/c and it definitely has 164401 painted on it.
