Well, now that 53Gunner ruined the fun...

I knew the planes, I didn't know the base.

kinda cool to see a 2-seater 104 ..not many of 'em made and a lot less of them still around.

Saw Mr. Greenemeyer and a lady passenger blast around durin an airshow a few years ago when I was on the East coast.. that plane is still an amazin thing to watch. It zooms almost like an LA-7 in the MA :)

yup, I have one of that too, just to find it!  The SR-71 is even more impressive when standing next to it! Awesome bird!

There's a major difference between the F15 and the F22! They look as alike as the F15 and the F18!

That and I don't know if they'd be displaying an F22 when it hasn't even seen combat, let alone a well weathered one.

To be specific, the F-15 is an F-15A, but without a serial number, I can't be specific as to the dash number. That F-104 is an F-104B, built as a trainer for pilots transitioning to the 104. I can't see the whole serial number, just the "57". This means it could be an F-104B-5 or -10 or -15..

How's that for a typical aviation freak anal response?   ;)
