Re: Tiger Meet 2023
The Mirage 2000D which didn't fly either day I was there is 30-JF according to photos on Facebook. Scramble database has this as 641. But special tail 30-JW had 641 on the nosewheel door. https://www.flickr.com/photos/68498610@N03/53249647934/in/datetaken/ Thanks - I think the Scramble database has...

Re: Tiger Meet 2023
Sorry, Mike, 31+69 is a mistake isn’t it. I will check what it should have been when I get home.

Re: Tiger Meet 2023
Brilliant - that explains why I couldn't see the special Greek on the flight line.
Yes, I too saw 43+59 arrive on the Friday after lunch.
Thanks to everyone who has filled in all the gaps.

Re: Tiger Meet 2023
Thanks Shalter - are you sure about the Greek because I read one of the other F-16s as 003?

Re: Tiger Meet 2023
The base is quite open. There is a road to the west of the base that follows the fence line and gives good views of the western runway which was the one used for most movements on the two days I was there. You can see most of the parked aircraft although some will be quite distant. The hardest thing...

Re: Shaw AFB 26th March 1992
Thanks for your help Mike. I win the idiot of the year prize though for getting the date wrong. I meant 1992 which would explain why the T for tactical was still on the markings. I think the designation changed officially in November 1991.

Shaw AFB 26th March 1992
Would anyone be able to help with the identities of several SW F-16C that I saw on the above dates with special markings:
"33rd TFS" blue fin flash
"363TFW" blue fin flash
"363 TFW" white fin flash (might have been 89-085)
"363 TFW" yellow fin flash
"9th Air Force" yellow fin flash

Re: 1 CAG CF-104 in Europe
From doing a quick bit of research, I think (I am no expert) there were eight squadrons of CF-104s based in Europe in the early 1960s. 439 and 441 at Marville, 421 and 430 at Grostenquin, 427 and 434 at Zweibrucken and 422 and 444 at Baden Solligen. When France took control of nuclear weapons based ...
