Hi R.A.
Google search engine....the Pro ride of the internet...
Type in 31st TFW..and there you go...first 10 hits.

Was at an airshow just after desert storm...lots of U.S. Aircraft ,...Aggressor F-16's from Nellis..to an F-111 "Ardvark" that had seen action.
Ground crews came with the aircraft..boy were they happy to chat it up with the crowd about "Their Birds".
Pilots flew the plane..but the ride was the ground crews Bird.
Came early..and found a spot opposite the flight line..it is something to hear them turn over...flare a bit..and taxi by.
2 F-15's had flown down from Anchorage Alaska..."Fast Pack" Intercepters...parked away from the flight line..they had armed guards posted...you could only snap a 300mm telephoto from a distance.

Photography at airshows is allways an adventure...an F-117 Stealth fighter was present..below the Pilots name was a "Grim reaper" logo..with the words..."Night Rider".

A friend is presently undergoing basic with the Air Force..He will be with the Airforce Police.
I could whoop him anytime of day ..but now..I think those times will be past.
No other info on the F-4..just found it..
R.A. ..were you a Pilot or a RIO?

4:00! Oh my goodness! It's been a lot of years since I stayed up this late drinking and dancing! hahahahaha

My sweet hubby will be getting up soon to go to school.

[Pippin]

He'll be wondering why He's just getting up and you're just going to bed! LOL

[Jen]

No, he's been married to me long enough to know the answer to that. I'm an owl, he's a lark!

[RadioAstronomer]

you wanted to know my tail number or something

Oh lordy! Sorry. I wanted the tail number of the airplane in the picture, this logging computer I am on can't bring bring up the pic.

[HiJinx]

That means it's a shade past 1 here, and I've gotta get up in 4 hours and drive up to Phoenix!
Thanks for the dances Jen...now it's time for a little shut eye.
G'night, All!!

Walked by it many a time, but was never in that one. :-)

[Jen]

Good night HiJinx. {{{HUGS}}}

[MistyCA]

[Pippin]

Good Night, HiJinx!

That is so cool! :-)

[MistyCA]

I am not sure of the tail number. It says, US Airforce 50? A 5 with an Eagle that also seems to make the 0. It says 1947 to 1997....50 year anniversary? Yup....that's what your caption says.

[Jen]

Psssssst, RA, Misty is a civilian...

I can't tell what the tail number of that F-4 is, but it's the 31st TTW flagship.
