They still have the airshow every year here at Selfridge. At our old house the runway was literally in my backyard. Lots of A-10s in and out. On airshow weekends we’d have a pool party.
The airshow here is on Elmendorf Air Force Base and I am not really sure why it is only every other year, but it has always been that way
I love me some Warthogs
We don't have any up here but there are lots of F-15s and F-22 Raptors, and Eilson AFB in Fairbanks has F35s as well as F16s
My wife did a TDY at Luke AFB in Phoenix years ago and I would drive over to the flight line and watch the A-10s going through their paces
My son works for the Air National Guard and sent me pics a few months ago of some B-52s that were coming through
I blew his mind by telling him that there was every possibility that his grandfather had worked on those very same B-52s when he was in the service since none have been built since the early 60s and he retired in 67
Whatever SAC base he was stationed at for his last years in service he was the chief of flightline maintenance so was in and out of every B-52 on the line
