I have never been there bit I think the VF-143 Puk'in Dog one is the old Vandy-1 F-14D and last production Tomcat from Pt Mugu.  It was said hearing it was going back east and getting re-sprayed.

Stopped by Goodfellow AFB today. No airpark but the aircraft below are displayed throughout the base.

Nice shots. Any story behind the Migs? I had a friend stationed there once upon a time for training. Do you know how far Goodfellow is from DFW?

I believe Goodfellow is where AF intel folks are trained, and a lot of what they learn there has to do with foreign aircraft and capabilities and such.

Great shots, Robert!

Thanks for the info. Yes, my friend was a firefighter that went through there in the Mid 80's.  It would be interesting to know where those Migs came from. I know the Mig-21 at Barksdale was a former Red Hat aircraft.

thanks,

A new display featuring A-6E and EA-6B gate guards the NAS Whidbey Island entrance on Rte 20.

...and about a mile and a half from my house actually. It's nicely lit up at night as well. It's also nice in that it's not the entrance to the base that it indicates but the begining of the whole city. The people here are very supportive of the base.
