US Military aircraft tracking

Came across this and thought others might be interested. Hopefully there isn't already a thread on this - I didn't spot one.

A logical progression from removing tail numbers?

Re: Diverse Hawk T.1/1As - Valley July '95

Some great colour schemes there, sadly all way after my time.

Sad to see 74 ending up flying Hawks, but I guess it's better than what they are flying now - i.e. nothing!
Shameful that the RAF doesn't have a Tiger squadron IMHO.

cheers

KLU 104s - Part 1

Just finished re-reading Jerry Pook's "Flying Freestyle" in which he relates his time flying RF-104s with the cloggies, which has prompted me to post some KLU 104s. Sadly I don't have any RF-104's but here is a few that I did get. F-104G D-6699 311Sqn Lakenheath 21st August 1978 https://live.staticf...

Always good to see an F-100 - sadly I didn't see that many. They always looked so tatty which gave them some character IMO.

Re: Five a day - Part 86

A fantastic series - you have certainly seen an amazing variety of aircraft, and some very rare visitors.

Thanks and looking forward to next winter (but I hope it's a long summer!!!!) :D

Darren (Knife04) will love these ;) Paddy has the (mis)fortune of knowing me and he is spot on! Loved the 'Varks' from Heyford and Lakenheath - best aircraft to ever fly for so many reasons and times for me!
