With the new AS F-16C flying it seems to me she needed a South Carolina ANG version and their airbase at Al Kharj, Saudi Arabia. Here is what I have so far. What a fun aircraft to fly.

Nice shots Tom! Where'd you get the scenery, looks good.
 
Scenery

Michael, the scenery is a work in progress. I have added everything from the library in FSX with many of the objects from your MCDMilitary Library. I just wish I could find a good static F-16 for the ramp.

The fuel depot and some other objects are still to come.

More Shots

The Al Kharj AB is taking shape. More support personel, an ammo dump, a fuel area and a new hospital. Now if I can find a good static F-16 to put on the ramp.

You could use Henry Tomkiewicz's F-16s along with flightplans and AFCADs, so the airplanes aren't entirely static. Also don't forget the mighty C-130. It was slightly before my time, but my unit was at Al Kharj along with a few others.
 
Thanks Railrunner130, I had completely forgotten about Henry's F-16s. I will make a bunch of AFCADS to give some life to Al Kharj. The C-130 will come to life as well. Appreciate the help. More pictures to come.

Railrunner, when did you join up at MAAM? Hope to see you up there for the Volunteers Meeting in March.... or before. ;)
 
F-16s Have arrived at Al Kharj

Railrunner, the F-16s have arrived at Al Kharj along with the support Cargo aircraft. The airbase is taking shape. Not having been at Al Kharj during Desert Storm as you were I can only imagine what the base was like but this production gives us a place to fly our F-16s much as it was in 1991.

Gary,
I was a member up there for a few years. I haven't updated my membership in a while- too darn busy. I want to, just need the time. BTW- It looks like ATC closed again. Oh well....

Tom,
I personally never made it to Al Kharj until 2003, by which time it was really built up and called PSAB. We broke there for a few days. I went back about six months later when they closed it down. You wouldn't believe all the empty concrete...
