Damon: There is an Air Force F-16 Viper squadron flying fron NI this week unforttunately I have not been able to get any flying pics of them maybe you'll be lucky enough to get a shot or two to post. Since I returned from Minnesota I just have not had any time to do much picture taking. I'll post these 3 shots of a C-130 that landed todayat NI amd a couple Helo shots.  the aircraft appears to be from the Wyoming ANG. Pics are with my EOS-50D with a Canon 75- 300 mm lens.

Yeah I hope I get something.  I emailed you my number if anything comes up.  I will try to look like a sunbather as much as I can.    do you know the tower frequency?

[rander]

According to the info I have, tower is 135.1 / 336.4  Grd Control is 118.0  / 360.675   SoCal Approach 125.15 / 317.55. Hope That Helps.

Take care of your self Damon your still a young man yet , Tell me about it when your 60. Gonna be tough walking the beach with a tight calf muscle but then you'll start noticing the bikini clad ladies on the beach and your eyes will hurt more than your calf muscle, maybe some othr muscle will be growing, sorry that should be growning  as well. LOL

Having worked the F-18 overhaul line in building 94, I only wish you guys could spend a week and see some of the thing those aircraft are disassembled to so you would get some Idea of the labor needed to repair and reassemble those aircraft. That RK45 aircraft has been here a while as last weeek they brought in RL43 98 aircraft in the PMI level one repair cycle and that doessn't count the centerbarrel or In Service Repair (ISR) aircraft that were also worked.

Yeah thats true but with a little touch up that jet would be sexy...

I think, Rander correct me, the paint job is last on list after overhaul.
