Once upon a time in the west, lot-1 9/91 Gordon

Post by Gordsmith » Mon Jun 20, 2022 10:18 am

This set I managed at the end of a business trip with time to spare before my flight home. A quick call to the PAO at Buckley ANG base, gave me a superb afternoon being driven and stopping wherever required by said PAO, my undying respect and regard for a very nice guy. I caught the guard as they were in the early stages of converting to F-16s. Enjoy, Gordon

Those were the days! Great set. Incredible those same F-16s are still there 31 years later.

Hi Gordon :P

SLUFFs were only too infrequent visitors to Air Fetes, so the only time I got to see them was on exchanges by the Portuguese AF at Coltishall :thumbs:

Thanks for yet another awesome post :thumb:

Morning Gordon, a fantastic set mate, thanks for posting. I can remember seeing a lot of Corsairs turn up at Waddington back in the 80’s and enjoyed seeing them flying around the local area, lovely aircraft :thumbs: . Those F-16’s are a bit tasty as well :D

Thanks again

Cheers Glenn :thumb:
