South Dakota Vipers
Some nice visitors to Fort Worth. The first current mil I've shot in months.... https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52616774638_cd66d6dc61_h.jpg aKNFW-08Jan2023-IMG_8073 by Matt Ellis , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52615776307_cf1684447d_h.jpg aKNFW-08Jan2023-IMG_8116 by Matt Ellis ...

ZM164 First Flight (and LN)
I think it was ZM164's first flight this afternoon from Carswell. It flew as Lightning 41 with LN 20-5581/LN bound for the 495th FS acting as chase (lightning 42). No word on when the next deliveries will occur. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52355029262_c2aa7e95a5_h.jpg KNFW-13Sep2022-aIMG_426...

Nice! The first one is "Wilber's" jet when he shot down three in a day. Super guy.

New AETC Heritage Scheme
Yet another heritage scheme, this one for Vance AFB, OK FAIP. I like it.

Down The River with a Vader
With VFA-204 losing their Hornets for F-5's, it was great to have three River Rattlers come through Fort Worth Alliance this weekend. One pilot was starting his fini-flight and all three put on a hell of a show for their assembled families....and us geeks. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/5198998...

First 493rd FS F-35 plus one...
I think I posted shots of the 495th squadron aircraft, 19-5495 marked "495 FS" a week or so ago. I was able to catch the first 493rd FS aircraft, 19-5493 at Carswell today. Also caught the first FY20 jet for Hill AFB, 20-5566. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51957569371_b38ec21aae_h.jpg aKNFW-23...

USAF Trainer Heritage Schemes
Well, it's being going on for several years with no sign of slowing down. Here are a selection of AETC heritage and FAIP scheme trainers from all the units, plus a bonus ACC Talon. I am however, still missing several.......I need to get out more! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51947274949_76b59...

Texan Sunday Morning
Sunday morning was a beautiful yet cold time out at my locals of Meacham and Alliance. Meacham always attracts helicopters it seems....even nicer when they are black! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51935859962_c1b494bb2a_h.jpg aKFTW-13Mar2022-IMG_1117 by Matt Ellis , on Flickr https://live.stat...

Heritage Talon
I stopped by Fort Worth Alliance this evening and caught another heritage Talon from Sheppard AFB. T-38C 69-7077 of the 90th FTS painted to represent P-47s of the 90th Pursuit Squadron in the China Burma India Theater during WWII. The second shot is tweaked HDR. Not sure I really like it. https://li...

Re: Vortex 349 Puma HC2
Thanks for posting, always loved the Puma but have never been fortunate to shoot many of them.
