So last weekend was a drill weekend for the 147th. Finally, some 'EF' Vipers in the skys again!




Check this out - I didn't notice this until the photo was uploaded - There is an Ace of Diamonds painted under the nose - just in front of the intake..I've never noticed this on any of the EF Vipers before:

Here's a few more taken a few weeks ago - I never got around to posting them on here:

Break:

TANG Viper with EA-6B Prowler in the foreground:

As I recall, they did several touch and gos:



Also, if some of you remember my post about the Block 60, it's been around a couple more times in the last few months, but I don't think I have any photos of it.

And this isn't really F-16 related, but there have been a few Superhornets at EF lately:


Also not related, but also there:




Also - about a month ago there were between 10 and 12 AV-8B Harriers here as well. Some 2 seaters. I'll see if I can locate those photos.
Hope you enjoy,

Super shots!!

Very nice photos, KXY!! Good work buddy.

As Scott says those cards have been under the noses of the Vipers for some time now - great detail, though.

Racer, yes, the TANG has already lost some of their Vipers and will have completely lost all of them over the summer!!

Greetings,

Henrik.

They're going to Predators. What does the ace card and the logo "Ace in the Hole" stand for?

Man KXY, those are some nice pictures! I'm so sad to see their jets going, that unit has had a huge influence on me.

If you want some more shots of the 111th (since they're leaving) here are some I took a while back in Dec 2006.
