identify this!!

[tigisfat]

Alright now, every time we have an 'identify this airfield' or 'identify this plane' it's usually nailed within an hour. I don't even have a chance. I know noone can, but it actually and literally seems to me like some of you know every plane and every airfield. It's uncanny and insane.

So here we are. I have a picture, and this one is arguably as hard or harder as some of the hardest identifications we've done around here.

What airfield is this?

Wild guess NAS Key West?

Wild guess NAS Key West?

nope!!

That was a pretty good guess though. I can see how you'd come to that conclusion given the water and european style pads.

Homestead AFB?

I know it is old, however. T-38! :salute:

Hamilton AFB, in CA! It must be a WW-II era base, with those WW-II looking parking spots.

Give this man a big cigar and a .

It's quite derelict now, but when I was in the Navy, I attended an airshow there in '72 when the T-birds were flying Phantoms.

I went there on my T-38 out and back.
Long haul from LAFB.
The return trip was the only time I ever flew with a hangover --
never again.

Nothing like 100% for those kind of flights.

I will keep those kinds of sorties to myself. I wouldn't want to be a bad influence on today's youth.

Besides, I don't know if the stature of limitations is up?

Are you kidding me? I figured that was way too hard, and that I was being unfair. How did you do that? That was the third guess!!



I'm gonna go look for something WAAAAAAY harder.

I didn't know that without looking it up in Google Images. I typed "Thunderbirds T-38" and on the forth page or so, it was there, so on the one hand you could say "I cheated", but on the other, you could say I made use of available tools. It's an open book test!
