A2A with an EF-111A

Post by PA200 » Fri Jun 03, 2022 6:10 pm

Can't believe I took these more years ago than I care to remember. Dec 1997 found myself in Al' s Garage, Prince Sultan Air Base KSA on the Squadron's annual Det for Op Jural. Managed to blag a trip on a KC-135T for a load of us and luckily had my camera with me. C&C welcome..enjoy.

Special experience there. The Spark Vark was a gorgeous looking jet.

Many thanks for the kind remarks, it certainly was an experience and the best job was the boomers.
