Hey all, I made a topic on 21-1 about a month ago featuring some cool heavies like the B-2 and KC-135, this time the fighters were more active! Today being the last day for Red Flag 21-2 until the next one in August. Luckily this time, the runway was open so right breaks were in commence over the spotters. Enjoy!
The first wave arrives with the VAQ-134 Growlers (EA/18) that are based in Whidbey Island, these are always a treat to spot! 🙃
Many F-16’s from the Fighting 55th Squadron arrived but here’s one in the special “Checkered” livery!
Another Fighting 55th in their regular livery 🤠
A special treat as the B-1B Bomber (Bone) arrives, an awesome flyover for a right break landing!
Getting a great 🤟🏼 from the Wraith!
An F-15E Eagle Strike from Mountain Home, ID.
Another special heavy, FOCUS31 (E-3 Sentry) on the tightest break of the day hence the backlight 👏🏼
To finish the day, MacDill AFB’s KC-135 arrives after refueling on 21R.
