Nice shoots given the conditions.
I notice that the Hunter has Arabic lettering on an old Jordanian Hunter I am guessing so by the pattern.I wonder if it was assigned to a RAF unit then transferred to RJAF unit then re-acquired as a static display.
I was looking at Google earth the other at day my old training base Sheppard AFB Texas I left there long ago in 1995 and came back later for a week for an NCO course.Anyway the dorms there where long in the tooth even in the 90's they had no air conditioning in Texas mind you and I was there in the summer time in 1995.
On each corner they had a static display my squadron had an F-105 the rest where other "century series" jets anyway they tore down the old dorms and the new ones are not on the old footprints but rather a few hundred yards away so now the old static displays are sitting on empty corners with a large open area between them and any other structure it looks a bit funny from the Google earth point of view.
I found out a few years ago that the F-105 on display at Sheppard AFB flew several hundred missions during Vietnam over North Vietnam and also Laos.
