| I wonder where they'll be? IIRC Subic Bay NAS is the only base we have left after Mount Pinatubo buried Clark, correct? |

Well I've known about the pilots from AETC and other non combat commands being put in the AEF bucket - the F-16 pilot that was tragically lost over Iraq was an IP at Luke on TDY to fullfill his AEF slot. I've seen AETC Tyndall F-15s deploy to RED FLAG Alaska but its unusual to send the AETC IPs and jets all the way over there. |

No Cupid mods on Block 42's, those mods were for older block 30/32. Not sure what you're referring to as the small air inlet under the LEX, but I see everything that is supposed to be there. |
