Pardon my ignorance, but what are the two glowing objects? Other planes?

The one on the left is Harry Reid's career fizzling out.

Flares to disrupt heat-seeking missiles.

Could you estimate the separation distance between the two aircraft?

I'm building so far remote that the Air Force trains in the sky above. Dropping flares, dog fights and the like. Very cool.

The Eagle still looks fantastic after 30 or more years.

That particular Eagle was built in the late 70s.(There’s a 76 on the tail which designates when the contract for that block of Eagles was released)

Also, it Looks like (tough to read)the aircraft is from the Louisiana Nationl Guard.

Correct. The JZ tail flash is for the 159th Fighter Group, New Orleans, LA Air National Guard.

Referenceing the stalwart men in the driver’s seat or the machines?

I vote for the pilots drving them and the numerous other USAF personnel who make them fly.....

Key part of our nation’s true treasure.

I think the F-16 is there to decoy radar guided missiles.

I could make out the JZ on the Eagle but the Raptor is harder to read. It looks like the top of two T’s or F’s. FF is from Langly which is a long way from the Gulf.
