very nice Kev - do they have a new tail design?

[KevinJackson]

Thanks Ken. Don't think it's new, although it could be a variation, or just newly painted? It's still got 'Dogpatchers' on it with the flying Bug.

Hello To All!
Here’s a brief post, remembering the 103rd FW/118th FS planes and people. Some of you may have seen these in previous posts; the 118th FS has a unit history of over 80 years, an active combat roll of over 60 years, and 30 years with the A-10 Thunderbolt II. Elements of the 118th served in WWI, WWII, Korea, Viet Nam, Desert Storm, DS2 (War on Terror), and a number of other “conflicts” thrown into the mix.
These are shots from days spotting at KBDL, and base visits with Ken, that he and I were fortunate enough to have made available to us – with many thanks to the folks at the 103rd for their patience and kindness, and of  course to my son for putting up with his over zealous photog dad, “See that Red Line dad? Step over it and they’ll shoot you.” Right – LOL!!!
In any case here are the shots, and yes I’m still alive to post them – Ha!
As you may know, the 103FW/118th FS has been changed to the 103rd Airlift Wing, 118th Airlift Squadron, and as a result of this re-assignment they are currently flying the C-21, with the prospect of the C-27J JCA program for the future.
