The picture is actually taken at JRB Fort Worth (Carswell) . You can see a TXANG C-130H in the background along with F-16s of the 301 FW/AFRES in their shelters. The F-15s are visiting from New Orlean’s 159 FW/LAANG. Not sure about the F/A-18s, I can’t see the tail.

I was at Lawson Army Airfield many moons ago on a C-130 uploading paratroopers when we heard an aircraft request a lights out landing.

Two is always better than one but the Super Tucano’s PT-6 is an incredible engine. Just google it and you’ll see how many aircraft use it and how long it has been around. Very reliable. Of course that means nothing if a golden BB takes it out!

Oh I remember those days back at Luke in the mid 90s. Never failed that someone would leave their car alarm on and then the Vipers would start taking off around 7am.
