We dropped by McChord AFB on last week. Here are pictures of the air park and other static displays on the base.

Nice photos. Like to see the B-18 & B-23 inside someplace.

Loved the clouds, liked the aircraft. I'm sooooooo effing sick of baking in the never ending pouring sunshine of a Phoenix summer. :twisted:

Thanks for both, Brad.

Nice photos of a place the average taxpayer is prevented from visiting 'because it's buried on an active Military Base' with no outside access like a large number of other USAF facilities do have-

Thanks, I've been meaning to visit McChord and take a look...maybe this summer on a marathon of Puget Sound air museum visits.

That F-16 looks like it's ex-North Dakota ANG (Happy Hooligans). My uncle was the engine shop superviser for years there in Fargo. It was pretty cool going to visit, got to sit in an F-4 and F-16.

Brad,

Thanks or posting the photos, especially the C-124, 0994. This is one that I had the opportunity to turn a few wrenchs on "back in the day". Also, it is the model that still had the apu's in the outboard nacelles. This apu is exactly like the one we have on FIFI.

I watched that F-16 Arrive at McChord for the last time a few years back. They said it was air borne over DC on 9-11. I think it was from the DC ANG.
