That's good enough for me, I sure would like to see that.

Thanks for sharing. Seems like it was a good trip.

Very nice

Interesting those Hornets look like they are set up for long term storage. Must be a long term maintainence depot of dome sort. Looks like they are also chained to the tarmac.

well, the F/A's are on their way out of service - most of the airframes will have reached their certified lifetimes by now. It's an issue here in Canada as well, where our CF-188s are about to "expire" as well, and there's still a big question mark over their replacement.

They're not E\F Super Hornets that much is certain. Could also be used as part of a Navy/Marine Coprs tech school as well. Everyone just about that was a crew dog went to Sheppard AFB there where several old F-16,15 and A-10 airframes along with all the heavies except the B-2 though there was a trainer B-1B used for different static training for example for the ammo troops to learn how to load up different airframes. So they may be getting used for that purpose.
