Aloha all, checking in from Southern UT. Long time enthusiast & collector, gravitating more towards H&K firearms these days. Have a few already, but still a noob to this manufacturer. Looking forward to getting the good gouge from all you more experienced members.

Welcome from N. Utah! 'Love your avatar of Hill F-16C; where you stationed at HAFB?
HAFB was my first base, bedded down brand-new factory F-16A aircraft in 421st back in 1980-82. There were four squadrons then, 4th, 16th, 34th and 421st (the 419th Reserves were still flying F-105 Thunderchiefs back then). HAFB was also my last base (1990-2000) but was over on the depot side as part of 2952 CLSS & 649 CLSS.
Again, welcome.

Thanks for the welcome! Talk about a lot of Hill history, very cool!
Not a Hill guy but worked with their jets a bunch over the years & occasionally picked up our wing's fast movers from depot there as well. Also worked with the SLC Tanker guys a ton & knew this is place I wanted to retire in (retired in 2023). Oh & that pic was taken over the AOR back in 2016, a fairly quiet late afternoon sortie.
