She’s stinking up Santa Fe, NM.
She’s adding to the stink of Santa
Fe. It was once a very nice place.
We just have an excess of fuel to burn before the first of the month. If they can burn it all before the first they will ask for 20% more next year. They are probably burying some and throwing a couple of F15’s in a hole for good measure.
yea im a few miles from Nellis and it’s quiet
They probably want to get the night training in before the long weekend.
Naval Air Station Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base (or NAS Fort Worth JRB) (IATA: FWH, ICAO: KNFW, FAA LID: NFW) includes Carswell Field, a military airbase located 5 nautical miles (9 km; 6 mi) west of the central business district of Fort Worth, in Tarrant County, Texas, United States. This military airfield is operated by the United States Navy Reserve.[1] It is located in the cities of Fort Worth, Westworth Village, and White Settlement in the western part of the Fort Worth urban area.[2][3]
NAS Fort Worth JRB is the successor to the former Naval Air Station Dallas and incorporates other Reserve commands and activities, primarily those of the Air Force Reserve, that were present on site when the installation was known as Carswell Air Force Base, a former Strategic Air Command (SAC) facility later transferred to the Air Combat Command (ACC).
Several United States Navy headquarters and operational units are based at NAS Fort Worth JRB, including Naval Air Reserve air wings and aviation squadrons, intelligence commands and Seabees.
The Air Force Reserve Command’s Tenth Air Force (10 AF) headquarters and its 301st Fighter Wing continue to be based at the installation, as well as the 136th Airlift Wing (136 AW) of the Texas Air National Guard. A Marine Aircraft Group, several aviation squadrons, and various ground units of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve are also co-located at NAS Fort Worth JRB.
Aircraft types initially based at NAS Fort Worth JRB were the F-14 Tomcat, F/A-18 Hornet, C-9B Skytrain II, C-130 Hercules and KC-130 Hercules that relocated from the former NAS Dallas, joining extant F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft that were previously located at the installation while it was known as Carswell Air Force Base and later as Carswell Air Reserve Station.
Currently based aircraft are Navy C-40 Clipper transports of the Naval Air Reserve, Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcon fighters of the Air Force Reserve Command and C-130 Hercules airlift aircraft of the Texas Air National Guard, and Marine Corps F/A-18 Hornet strike fighters and KC-130 Hercules aerial refueling and transport aircraft of the Marine Corps Reserve. Recently, the U.S. Army Reserve also based a battalion of RC-12 Guardrail reconnaissance aircraft at NAS Fort Worth JRB.
Troop movement and status is always classified. Loose lips, sink ships.
The Navy did a solid vandalism job on the NAS facilities before they returned the property to Dallas. The best known use of the property since Dallas got it back was to quarantine the Ebola dog.
Yeah, maybe their heading out for an exercise somewhere. At Hill, they do night ops pretty often. They split it between full moon and no moon.
Good point. People should shut up. We are in difficult times.
Either burning up EOY budget so they don’t lose it next year or celebrating new year’s budget after having run out of last year’s.
I see the squadrons doing that there on a regular basis for years. I wouldn’t say that’s unusual.
Engines does not equal unusual activity you ninny
