[murphyaa]

After a six-year drought, Luke Day returns. Plane pron inbound as soon I get home.

Do I see a Mirage F1 parked in the mix?

[murphyaa]

Not sure. I ran into difficulties transferring images and videos from my phone to my computer, so there might be a slight delay.

[murphyaa]

I'll try uploading these from my phone:
Round 1:

Mirage

F-16 (Luke AFB is a major International F-16/F-35 training base, so expect lots of these)

F-15

F-15 in a WWII heritage scheme

They actually had a U-2. This one looked a bit rough though.

P-51 Mustang

Not sure what this is.

Same as above in a different paint job

PT-17 Stearman

T-6 Texan

Round 2 after work.

[murphyaa]

Can't edit from my phone.l, and couldn't see thee small pics until it was too late.

The one labeled U-2 is actually a T-38 or F-5, I think


This is the U-2.

[rmks2000]

Nice clear shots.

Part 2


Sabreliner

P-51

I can't remember what this one is

Or this one

T-6 Texan

PT-17 Stearman

My plane identification skills are really bad. I wanna say T-38 or F-5

No idea

I know this one! Skyraider

T-33?

Cessna 172-ish?

Part 3
They also had a display of historic military vehicles. I'm not a car guy, so I'll let the experts ID them

M274 Mule (it had a sign)

Kaiser M-725 (it had a sign too)

Jeep

Not a jeep

Still not a Jeep

Deuce and a half

Truck

Big truck (Oshkosh M1070 8x8) Yep, sign.

Somebody made the Mule angry

Part D


Cybertrucks actually exist? It kinda grows on you if you stare at it crosseyed long enough

F-35

NASA F-18. Les will like this one

Blackhawks as far as you can see (keep one eye closed)

This one says "USAF Rescue" on the side. With a minigun on one side, and a Browning M2 on the other side.

Coast Guard Jayhawk

Blackhawk

Here's one for our Canadian friends

Obligatory A-10 shot

I wanna say this is the UH-1 Twin Huey (?)

[murphyaa]

HueyCobra

Apache

Singapore F-16

Another T-33

KC-135
