Have fun. . .
single tail or twin tail?
Should have two big letters on the tail
When I lived in Virginia Beach, I would often see FF which stood for Langley. My Father worked for 35 years at Tyndall TY, Egin, EG and ET.
I can guess most of them if I see the letters but can’t remember a lot off hand.
PA AirNational Guard fly A 10s, do you know what they look like?
My husband was a retired USAF fighter pilot who flew this bird out of Phan Rang.
Col. Bud Day, former POW
Not quite enough information. The tail code would tell the tale. Pun intended. Most likely Guard or Reserve birds in that area.
What kind of planes were they?
Couldn't say whether it was alone or not.
These are aircraft belonging to the EPA Air Arm, looking for lawn-sprinkling violators.
Notice the EG on the tails?
Hazleton Pa.?
I was stationed at Hill AFB in Utah and their F-16s had HL on the tail in big letters. Funny, but I see those tails in lots of stock file photos.
