Guest Dirt Beater Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 Why do some ANG fighters have the tail flash, and not the 2-letter tailcode like some others have?
PapaJu Posted December 18, 2004 Posted December 18, 2004 My guess is that because they're not located at AFB's, rather at civilian airports.
Guest Dirt Beater Posted December 18, 2004 Posted December 18, 2004 OKANG vipers have "OK" on their tails and they fly out of Tulsa International...

Guest Dirt Beater Posted December 18, 2004 Posted December 18, 2004 I was just saying...chill out dude.
Scooter14 Posted December 18, 2004 Posted December 18, 2004 Maybe because the old Air Defense Command units, like Vermont, Montana, Massachusetts, North Dakota, etc. didn't take part in the old TAC then ACC tradition of the 2 letter tail code. When ADC went away, the tradition held over. Just my guess...
