Is the US Airforce operating again in Myrtle Beach, SC? I am on holiday with the family here and have seen an F-16 or F18 and a C-130 take off from the civilian airport here.
Might be Air National Gaurd… 'Cept for the F-18, that is…
Yeah, the USAF doesn’t use the F-18.
Probably the Air Guard using it or an exercise. The AF rents out the airport at Roswell, NM for the Operation Roving Sands exercise, or in 1994, the Congressionally-mandated B-1B Reliablility Test. Roswell used to be Walker AFB, postwar home of the nuke 509th BG.
It’s now Whiteman AFB, MO. Home of the B-2 Bomber. I was a crew chief on them for four years there.
