Where did you do your viper training at? The reason im asking is because i live about 10 minutes from Luke Airforce base and often go out there to watch them land and take off.

Thanks Hooter

I did my training there at Luke. I remember seeing people parked off of the departure end all the time. Especially the North End right along the highway. I would assume that you cant park there any more, but I could be wrong. I liked Phoenix and had a pretty good time while I was there. I lived off of Bell Road near Arrowhead mall and that was a nice part of town. F-16 training was a good time!

Hooter. Im also in the phoenix area and get out to watch the f-16's when i can get out to that side of town. When i was younger i used to watch the f-15 come in and out too.
The sound of a 2 ship comming out full burner is awsome!!!

You've never experienced an F-111 elephant walk...there aren't many aircraft besides the Vark and the Bone that can shake a base like that.

You actually start tuning out the car alarms after a while....

How long ago were you stationed out here?I believe it was in 97 if my memory serves me right! Time all runs together during the pilot training years!
I was in the 61st Fighter Squadron called the "Top Dogs".

Grab,

I am stationed at Misawa now. My best friend works for the 13th here.

I am not a crew chief, I am K-9. But man those vipers give me wood!
