Very nice shots Ned. This tried and true workhorse has a better bomb load than any of the F-35s you seen coming out of Yuma.

Thanks Harvey. I always enjoy my visits to WTI.

Awesome shots, Ned. 

Good to see the Crusaders' logo and colors back.  Probably the most obvious sign that we've moved on from Iraq and Afghanistan, whether they were ready for us to leave or not.

Thanks Joe.

BAC Strikemaster in RNZAF markings. 10/6/15. Note the BDU-33 practice bombs. Joe tells me they are likely participating in WTI or supporting JTAC training.

This park assault played out just like a HA/DR, but the Marines were calling it a NEO.
