Aug 26 saw two F-5's from the VFC-111 Sundowners evac into Alliance due to hurricane Isaac. Too bad they did not bring the others.

Noted were:
761557/AF-112 and 761571/AF-113.

113 departed and was not seen returning while 112 went out for a 20 min tearing up the field exercise. 10 low approaches with awesome breaks over the apron. Will try to post some pics later.

Cheers,

Tally.

Thanks for that report. I didn't know if these 'A's had been modified to 'B' yet.

The F-5s (using c/s Bandit) have returned to Key West. The T-39s reportedly went to Tinker. No word on the T-1s, though.

Sd,to let you know some of the Pensacola T-6A at least 19 of them and T-1A those assigned to the Air Force Squadrons 451St Fts and 455Th Fts,went to Randolph Afb.

[sdamico]

Thanks for that. I was wondering where some of the others went.

SD

[sdamico]

Tally, I just noticed your edit on the TAW-6 T-6As that went to Alliance. Thanks for keeping us posted. I guess then these 'A's will not receive an upgrade and only Whiting and Corpus will get the 'B's.
