Mark said:Not a good race yesterday at Dover with early Red Flag wreck and 2 car race the rest of the way.Also flyovers were from West-East,East-West so lousy photo ops for me as well.
TEXAS ANG F-16s were on their usual squad A/A 140.150 and race control 123.025.
They were confused as well so ran a little late inbound.
Just one of those days..
SCARS 54 AK-ANG #82-0054 setting up for Leap Frog drops and TEXAS 91 F-16's.
The new Dover Monster at entrance looked cool though.. Bigger than I thought.

Thanks for those nice pics. Especially the Dover entrance. I did a 10-lap drive around Dover last Memorial Day--what a thrill. I have all the respect in the world for those guys whipping around there at 180 mph. I only did about 115 mph with ony three of us on the track and that had me on the edge of my seat. I can't imagine going around there at the speeds they do with all those other guys around.
TinEar said:Now that you've made me envious of your time on the Dover track, how about an explanation of how you happened to do that?
TinEar said:Thanks also for the info on the mysterious C-130 - that is no longer so mysterious. Had SCARS 54 (C-130H, 82-0054, 144th AS AK-ANG) up at 0950 this morning so guess he was leaving.
mdmonitor said:Guys,
It's strange that the Navy SEALs DEMO Team used an USAF acft for transport when they have several C-130Ts at VR-53 at Andrews.
But I guess when you need safe, reliable on-time transport you call on the USAF---spoken by an ex-USAF-er![]()
