Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Thank you. Unfortunately I didn't have time to take the museum tour. I spent too much time at the museum itself :)

Hi all,
DP is since 2014 the tail code for the reborn 47FS of the AFRC 944FW.
Nickname of the squadron is Dog Patchers.

Hope this helps.
Greetz,

Judging by fairings in the tail that preserved F-4 is actually ex-USN or ex-USMC, right?

Nice report!!

Hi all,
The 10th Air Force is in command over the 944FW at luke AFB.
944FW has control over the 924FG at Davis-Monthan AFB.
The 924FG houses the 47FS with tailcode DP.

I think 442FW was in the past in control

Greetz,
