A Good work, AKmtnhntr.
Aggressors out of Alconbury that spent a week at our base teaching our Rhino jocks to avoid getting their asses flamed. Alconbury was where my old man was stationed at in England for 3 yrs....back then, they converted from the RB66s which went to Vietnam and were replaced with the RF 4C...first unit in Europe to get them... also saw on the Website about the history of it, that the 10th Tac Recon Wing, later changed over to their mission having them equip with A 10s... those same early Phantoms ended up going to the MN NG at Hermantown, outside of Duluth in the early 1980s... when deer hunting in No MN, at times you'd see them come doing low level passes, at about 800 mph or more... at that level, you could not turn your head fast enough to follow them as they buzzed across the horizon..

Here are a few that I've always been fond of (or intrigued by): EA-6A. Where's Pugs, he'd know this one!

OK, here's a 2 fer. Easier to scan that way. The ground crew to the right of the 1st jet obviously had a rough night. G 91 Fiats and a Mohawk...

Great thread. Here is one nobody will get... Sweden's latest stealth fighter... John At the risk of having any future sources of potato bologna cut off (I actually found a couple of rings in Albert Lea and then left them in the freezer at my son's house when we left), I'm going to propose that the same stealth technology be applied to lutefisk.

Ok, a more mundane platform but one I have an affinity to. Specifically what model, type of ordnance slung and how can you tell?

Alconbury was where my old man was stationed at in England for 3 yrs....back then, they converted from the RB66s which went to Vietnam and were replaced with the RF 4C...first unit in Europe to get them...
also saw on the Website about the history of it, that the 10th Tac Recon Wing, later changed over to their mission having them equip with A 10s...
those same early Phantoms ended up going to the MN NG at Hermantown, outside of Duluth in the early 1980s...
The 10th TRW RF-4C's were at Alconbury until 1987 when the 1st TRS shut down. Most of the newer RF-4C's at Alconbury were integrated into my squadron at Zweibrucken (38th TRS), making us the last Tac Recce squadron in Europe. The rest of the RF-4C's from Alconbury were sent stateside. The A-10's came to Alconbury around 1988, maybe late 1987. I was there TDY for a month in April 1986 and then for a couple days in 1987 and at that time they had the RF-4C's, Aggressor F-5's and TR-1's.

I am happy to go along with anything that will reduce the amount of contact I have with lutefisk! John PS: I was just thinking how many reading our posts are confused. Not that we have ever had inside jokes here at the 'Fire before...
