Are all the F-22s flying out of Elmendorf still with the 90th or does the 525th have some planes now? From two miles away I cannot tell.
Oh, and for all of you who have not seen this plane yet, it does one UNGODLY climb out in mil power right after take off. The angle is very steep for a fully loaded plane not using burner. Very impressive. |

| The 90th and 525th have their own planes. Technically so does the 477th in a way. |

Noise? What "noise"?
Cars and trucks make noise. Jets make music.  |

| If the powers that be would let me stand at the end of runway 24 with a camera I would gladly make a video. |

| There are a number of roads off the end of 24 in which you could do this. |

Roads that are not on base? I know there is the little road on the west end that leads up to the tanks on the hillside but are there roads where civies can get a good view and not get chased off by MPs? The docks are off limits - maybe something in Government Hill?
It would have been nice to get some pictures as the other day I saw what looked like some F-15s from the 65th aggressor squadron. |

No, it's not. They're just flying the standard departure at Elmendorf. They just climb out a heck of a lot steeper than the Eagles do. |
