 | This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum. Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |

We were indeed told that these were to become QF-16s. We saw two flying while we were there.

Re: A-10 30mm war in the Desert (Hawgsmoke 2016)
Hi,
These were taken at the Barry M. Goldwater range that indeed is not accessible for the general public. You need to have a "press" accreditation from USAF/DM to get there. Photos from outside Davis-Monthan airbase (landing/take-off) however are not a problem.I suppose they don''t have grandstands on the range itself, so how did you get these shots??

Should have been more specific; we did see another ex-AMARG F-16 fly (not Italian): 85-1503 (inventory code AAF G0661)

Thans for the replies. I guess these shots are out of reach for me and will always be. Oh well, I can always check scramble...

Here you can find some shots taken from outside the base. Up to you if you find this interesting or not:Arthur79 wrote:Thans for the replies. I guess these shots are out of reach for me and will always be. Oh well, I can always check scramble...
