I've been working on my new website and I'm hoping to have it up and running soon, but until then I'll share these here.

Really Nice! What are the russian ones? And they look like they belong to the Italians!?!

Close, but they are Indian AF.

Do I see some early arrivals for the Gunfighter Flag exercise in those shots?

Ah I get it now, and I like the Il-76!

Yes it is an IL-76 fuselage; however it has been modified into a tanker and is called an IL-78MKI. It has three drogue baskets – one on each wing, and one attached to the center fuselage on the left side.

Oh right, As you've probably guessed russian designed aircraft are not my forte-especially the modified ones

Thanks Jake there just what I was looking for.

What are the white O & H for on the bellies?

Almost every aircraft has a letter designator painted on the bottom of the fuselage. I believe it is from their deployment to Afghanistan back in 2007-2008. I can tell you that
90-00316 is “O”,
90-00318 is “H”,
90-00329 is “B”,
90-00340 is “G”,
90-00298 is “F”,
89-00201 has Wings with a Skull (i have a horrible picture of it), and
90-00479 doesn’t have one because it is a new bird to the squadron that they got last fall.

Nice shots, very rare to see clean "A" Apaches.
