Nice to see the TFLM getting out and around! Sad to hear they won't be visiting New England this year.

Once again, thanks for the photos Bill! You're always where I want to be but can't get there!

Fantastic photos of some fantastic machines! I'm particularly excited to see the ex-RNZAF MB.339CB, very very cool! :supz: I'm intrigued by the A-4, it's in the same paint as Draken's ex-RNZAF Ks but presumably, with the hump (lost on the NZ machines in the late 80s), it isn't one?

Zac, check out Draken International website. Better info there than I could give you.

Other jets, Doug Matthews in the F-86 kept at Valiant Air Command at TICO, Breitling Jet Team, and an F-5, probably more I missed.

Good idea, thanks Bill. Also thanks for the great Aermacchi shot! I really miss hearing these doing touch-and-goes at my local field. :drink3:

The Draken A-4 is an ex-Israeli A-4N that has been repainted to match the K's.
