Very Late - Arctic Thunder 2012
Took these a couple of years ago. They're taken at the bi-annual 'Arctic Thunder Airshow' held at Joint Base Elmenndorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska. Luckily the weather played ball. Not something you can take for granted in this part of the world !!!

Nice set, love the first Chinook shot

That colour on a Chinook looks fantastic. Nice set indeed!

Super shots Keith! But I didn't realise Alaska had its own E-3? I thought they were all based at Tinker?

Thanks for the comments everyone.
Kenny. Yep, seems like Alaska has it's own complete separate little Air Force. I guess because it's so far from the other states. The only thing that seems to be missing is tankers.
