Fort Smith,Arkansas to host new F-35 Training and F-16

Post by pilotman6012 »

Due to constraints at Luke AFB,Ebbing ANGB at Fort Smith has been selected for new FMS Participants for F-35 Training and the 425Th FS RSAF F-16 Training will also move here,but if base does not pass enviromental study,Selfridge ANGB is the alternate.

Little strange why they would make a decision without the environmental study being complete.

For me though a welcome decision. Fort Smith is an awesome base to shoot at.


Tally.
