CF116705


    "Come to Texas, get out of the snow. It'll be fun!" Well, snow in October is unheard of.  Except in 1993. And this year (2020). 116705 (419 sqdn) at the Amigo Airshow in 1993. This used to be a decent airshow until it turned into a monster truck show/county fair.  And now it's dead. Anyway, 705 is carrying a reconnaissance nose rather than a gun nose in this photo. (CB)
  
     And a half an hour later the snow is gone. (CB)
 
      116721 of 419 Squadron in October, 1993. I do not remember where I took this photo, but it could be Carswell, AFB. (CB)
 
       116727 at a Red Flag at Nellis AFB in Jan, 83. 4343 Squadron had several airplanes participating that year. (CB)



      727 at Holloman AFB in Nov, 1983. (CB)

    748, 749 and 751 at Nellis in January, 1983. It was the best of luck to catch so many 434 Squadron airplanes at one time. (CB)
