Nice image from the lens of Peter Mancus.

F-4C 63-7553 196th TFS, 163rd TFG, CAANG March 1985. I would really like to know the location of this shot, anyone have any ideas?
The Tacan board in the background states the elevation as 1489, if this helps   

EDIT: Forget that..google is your friend  it's March AFB.

Can anyone id the locations for these two shots? my guesses are NAS Moffet Field for the MS ANG RF-4C (based on the number of P3s in the background) and possibly Luke? for the DC guard F-4C

Details for the shots are..
1. RF-4C 66-0421/KE 153rd TRS, 186th TRG MS ANG at ? September 1982. Image Mike Grove.
2. F-4D 66-7683/DC 121st TFS, 113th TFW DC ANG at ? December 1986. Image by mike Grove.

And also what appears to be some blimp hangars in the back as well..

[Heineken Kid]

They've got Blimp hangars at Moffet..i think.

Here's a rare shot of RF-4C 64-1076 179th TRS, 148th TRG, MN ANG @ Duluth sometime between January 1976 and May 1978 (transferred from 10th TRW at Alconbury in 76, crashed on approach to Duluth after collision with his wingman, which landed ok, on the 25th May 78)
 Edit: Photographer was Jim Goodall

I concur with your Moffett Field ID, looking east.  The ends of the twin blimp hangars and the P-3s, but most of all the ridgeline on the horizon, its shape and vegetation or lack there of.  I lived at the base of the ridgeline in my youth.  Good work Peter.

Heinekin Kid,

As for shot number 3, there is very little you can see in the background to verify it but I'm 99.9% sure that is at Niagara Falls.  Grew up there (still live 10 minutes away) and am sure that is at the base but there isn't a specific building or landmark to completely confirm it.
