FINEX is in the same location??

[Joe Copalman]

No, FINEX flights originate and terminate at MCAS Yuma.

No effing way.

Been after those Hunters for years.

Well there's something you don't see everyday.

Really nice catch on the Hunters, Lynn.  Were they there as aggressors or just randomly?

[Joe Copalman]

WTIs tend to bring various odd participants.  The Hind based up in Kingman is a frequent participant, as is an An-2 that carries an ACMI pod.  Last WTI they had some AlphaJets operated by another contractor participating, as well as those two little Bede micro-jets.  ATAC could have been there as aggressors (fitting, since most potential nations where MEUs will operate independent of carrier support aren't fielding F-5 class aircraft), but they also do stuff like fly simulated CAS missions for JTAC training or simulated cruise missile profiles to train the air defense guys and other stuff like that.

Thanks Joe!

  Two weeks ago I cooked and served 600 Marines at the VMA-214 Blacksheep. Here is a video I posted on YouTube.

Way to go Colin.  Looks like you had good access for some photography.  A good cause also.  That Corsair sure looked sweet.  Did you get to see it fly?
