Motivated by Paddyboy's interesting post here's a few pics of Missouri ANG F4Cs @ Leeming in summer '82 on another Coronet deployment all taken from outside the airfield so apologies for the stuff in the foreground.

Yes, very nice but in 1982.

Nice photos thanks for loading, I like the support equipment in the foreground

Thanks for putting me straight on a couple of points guys. Always been under the misapprehension that the nickname was Happy Hooligans for some reason but apparently they don't have one at all according to Rene Francillon's book on the ANG. Also thanks for reminding me that it was actually 1982. Let's put that down to a senior moment on my part! Otherwise pleased with the positive comments.

Just brilliant, top-shelf material. Nothing more to add except.....more please!!!!

Excellent post F3 - personally I think the support equipment in the foreground adds to the picture / composition

Would be interested in seeing more!

Cheers

110th TFS/131th TFW were/are "Lindbergh's Own."

Thanks Herbert. Mr Francillon neglects to mention that in his USAF ANG opus!

Nice pics

I didn't even know about these turning up. How long were they in for?

Superb, these were at Leeming for Coronet Cactus and deployed from 26 June to 9 July 1982.

Have a look at http://sharpshooter-maj.com/html/deploy82.htm

I remember that during early july 1982 a fourship paid a visit to RAF Wildenrath on at least two days. I will look for the negatives if I find the time the coming weeks.

Hi Guys. As some of you have asked for more I've found & scanned another strip of negs which I found and here they are.
