Post by Boxhill Bob » Fri Apr 05, 2024 4:48 pm

Hi I was in Clearwater for 5 Days visiting my wife cousin so managed to get some time on Saturday 30th March to go to the MacDill AFB AirFest
and shots these.. Got there at 07:45 and with this show you can get in some of the aircraft tried for the KC-10 as if was probably the last time
i would get close to one But the queue was all ready long so gave up and booted it the tyre instead :thumbs: :thumbs:
This will be the last year for the A-10 Demo Team

That A-10 651 appears to be in a commemorative scheme. Do you know anything about it?

The A-10 in black was with the Indiana blacksnakes of the 122fw. They are converting to the F-16. The camo A10 is a tribute to those from the 355 TFW who lost their lives in Vietnam.
