Post by: Treize69 on January 16, 2009, 05:24:06 PM: Still think the F-16 is the only good-looking jet.

Might have something to do with watching the 174th TFW fly them out of Syracuse for so long... :aok

Post by: Denholm on January 16, 2009, 05:47:21 PM: I think the F-22 looks better than the 16s. However an aviation enthusiast can always appreciate such wonderful pictures.

Thanks for sharing.

They did take part in some aggressor games.

2 wings, a tail and one pilot?

The F-16 has got to be the sexiest modern Western jet... though the F15 doesn't come in far behind.
Especially the one pictured with the Russian-looking blue camouflage.

I can see what you mean with the air intake, but I've never really liked the Pony that much aesthetically. The Viper on the other hand...

Post by: A.F. Crash, Fire, Rescue on January 17, 2009, 02:43:44 AM: Actually these F-16s are not Air National Guard, they are active duty F-16s with the 354th Fighter Wing 18th Agressor Squadron stationed at Eielson AFB, Alaska. I would know because I'm stationed here. They are here for the purpose of Red Flag-Alaska. Now, the KC-135s are Alaska Air National Guard 168th Air Refueling Wing.
