Thunderchief - Andrews AFB November 1981

Hi again all,

 

Just one this time. It is a poor image because the battery was expiring in my Olympus OM1d and I didn't realise! :(. Therefore many of the shots from this trip were over exposed. Even so, for posterity, I am posting a single image of the DC ANG ramp taken from afar. We didn't get specific permission for this ramp and our guide wasn't keen on testing the system. At this time the Thuds were retired, or thereabouts, with their F-4 replacements on site too. There were five machines but sadly I only recorded four of them!

Just adding that I have realised that 63-8299 (to the left of the image) was the last Thud to fly. It was then with the Georgia ANG.
