18 USAF F-16C's from Aviano AFB Stopped at KBTV Yesterday

Post by mikewmac »

I was treated to quite a show yesterday as I worked in my flower gardens. 18 USAF F-16C's from Aviano AFB were in transit to a training exercise in Alaska and stopped off at Burlington IAP while enroute.

To say that the local sky was full of F-16C's for a while would be quite an understatement. We have my old VT ANG unit's F-16C's buzzing over almost every day, but never this many in such a brief period, so it really had me pumped up for a few minutes. :D :D

which means a flyover of my house in AA. That would be very cool. I usually have to settle for a F-18 or A-10 flyover of a U of M football game.



But we do have the Blues in the area on successive weekends this summer. :D
