Saw a line of F16s taking off when I was landing the other day. Air national Guard because of the AZ tail number.
I think that's a C-17, but I'm no expert.Quote:

When we first moved to Tucson my dad used to take me out to an area where we just outside the fence to watch takeoffs and landings sitting in our Pontiac Catalina convertible. Great memories for sure. The first air show I ever went to was that first year, pretty cool for a 12 yr old. Got to go through a B17, need to see if I can find those photos.
You're welcome!Quote:
