Very Late - Arctic Thunder 2012

[expat1]

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 !!!

Very nice set, really like the static Thunderbirds shot

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

Very nice, like all of them

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

[paullangford]

A sublime set of shots, nice to see "Grumpy" again as well.

Thanks for posting

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.

Great topside on the F-22 also really like the Herc with the Parajumpers well caught
