Nice picks. I miss the F-4s and those smokey J79's.

This 'DO' tail-coded jet was with the 89 TFS, 906 TFG at WPAFB, which unless I'm mistaken, was an AFRES unit.

You are not mistaken.

Which sadly no longer flies as they converted to F-16As before being disbanded in 1994.

I've only seen QF-4Es fly and they are still among the loudest jets ever, even more then some of the newer ones.

Heres a few more A-10s:

18th TFS:

MA ANG 104th FW:

F-15Cs from the 33rd TFW, 58th TFS:

The 89th never disbanded. The 89th Fighter Squadron was converted to a Airlift Squadron in 1994 and continue to fly at Wright Pat. Still the Rhinos.

De-nutted, yes. Disbanded, No. I keed, I keed.

My grandfather flew in these during the Vietnam war. My mom thought it was a called a Chinook but it doesnt look one to me. Is it a Piasecki H-21?

HH-43: the original Pedro!

BTW, your sense of scale is waaaaay off. I'm not sure how anyone could confuse an H-21, CH-47, and HH-43.

This is an H-21:

This is a Chinook (CH-47):

Yes there are! First time I saw one fly was Pt Mugu Airshow in 2010.

Watching it crank up to leave was cool. It's a Wright piston engine that powers it.

A great piece of history.

I miss the hi-vis ARRS scheme. There's no color anymore, everything is grey.

The R-1820; same engine series used in the B-17, the T-28, and the H-34/S-58 helicopter (among others).
