Farewell Harriers

Time is getting short for the last USMC Harriers. It was a pleasure being able to photograph the jets and chat with the pilots during their weekend training in East Tennessee.

Hey, you guys got a ladder?

Literally what the pilot asked us. Of course the line guys had it handled and everyone got out quickly.

These two drew the lucky straws.

Warthog Wednesday

These guys (and the occasional gal) were my favorites to refuel. Usually a great attitude and would generally be good people. They didn't have the "I'm better than you", pilot attitude. I often met up with several after a deployment or a TDY and we'd trade stories over a beer or two.

Nothing like catching a pair of camo'd Randolph AFB T-38Cs, during a gas-n-go at Alliance Airport. These colorful jets are used to teach Introduction to Fighter Fundamentals (IFF) and Pilot Instructor Training (PIT).

2-Ship Arrival

A pair of 18th FIS break for landing over Eielson AFB. Over the past few years, the Blue Foxes have swapped many of their F-16s with those from ANG units to "modernize" their fleet. Note these two jets were previously with the Colorado and Texas ANG units.
