Hi all. This post made me trawl through my old slides, first up is 63-8881, KC-135A taken at Fairford on 10th June 1987, 380th BW markings if my memory serves me well.

Hi all After leaving the Air Mobility Command at Dover, Delaware (see earlier post for pictures) we made our way up to Atlantic City International Airport where the 119th Fighter Squadron / 177th Fighter Wing, New Jersey Air Nation Guard have their home. I have posted these before but as part of the...

Hi all. Last year I ventured over to Germany for a few days and managed to arrange access to Spangdahlem Air Base, home of the 52nd Fighter Wing and their impressive and well kept historic aircraft. As you drive in through the new main gate and up the hill you meet a roundabout where this beauty is ...

See what you mean with shot 7, the jet had just landed and the ground crew were busy post flight.
It looks like the guys head stretches up around the fuselage - strange but true, no editing.

With a view to visiting as many bases as possible over a two week period I arranged a trip to the Connecticut ANG's 118th Fighter Squadron / 103rd Fighter Wing based at Bradley ANG Base on Bradley Airport near the town of Windsor Locks some ...

Tanker Ray, yes these are digital, I stopped using slide film in about 2005.

I’ve thousands of slides to scan at some point mostly US stuff.

I’ll be in touch soon to arrange some scanning tips.

Hi all Back on 17th May 2007 I visited the 131st FS / 104thFW Massachusetts ANG at Westfield / Barnes Municipal Airport near Westfield, MA The unit were winding down on A-10 operations and a lot of the 'Hawgs" were devoid of markings before being transferred to other units. The 104th FW's new mount ...

Hi all

Thanks for all the comments, makes the time spent putting these things together worth while.

f106dart, you are indeed correct, you exit I80 not I10 onto West Park Highway and its there on your right.

Not much gets past you guys.

Hi all.

Took this unusual shot of Air Force One, VC-25A when on a visit to March Field, California back in 2005.

Rumpshaker indeed Kev, we had some cracking nights at Heyford, especially when we were invited to the squadrons dining in nights.

Nice to see / hear the Looking Glass will be restored to its former glory.

Great pin sharp shots Kev.

Cant wait to get back out there again, or anywhere when this is all over.
