Columbus AFB 2009

[Jason Grant]

Hi everyone, I have recently finished editing and re-editing photographs from a base visit to Columbus AFB back in 2009. Columbus AFB is home to the 14th Flying Training Wing and specialises in undergraduate pilot training in the T-1A Jayhawk, T-6A Texan II and T-38C Talon.

A great selection of shots and nice to see some types that apart from the occasional Jayhawk appearance, we never see over here. Thanks for sharing these.

WOW! What a fabulous set. The first Talon pic is my favourite and I have a feeling Paddyboy will be jumping with joy when he sees them.
Many thanks for sharing them

Do you know what's the significance of the T-38 hand-signals is?
