[MilCom] Cheyenne, WY Airshow

[Sandy4218 at aol.com]

Went up to Cheyenne WY today to see what the Open House at the ANG base was 
all about. The following aircraft were on static display:

C-5A, NY-ANG, 68-0226.
C-17A, MS-ANG, 03-3119. "Spirit of G.V. "Sonny" Montgomery"
C-130H, WY-ANG, 93-7314, MAFFS-3 (Ex-731 AS acft)
C-130H, WY-ANG, 92-1538, MAFFS-1
C-130H, WY-ANG, 92-1533, MAFFS-4. Evidently NC and WY ANG units have taken 
over MAFFS Nrs 4 & 6 from CA-ANG. Apparently the MAFFS gear won't fit in the 
115 AS's "J" models.
C-130H, WY-ANG, 92-1536. Has 8-blade prop. First Herc I've seen with that 
prop that wasn't a "J" model.
C-130H, WY-ANG, 93-7311. (Another ex-731 AS bird)
C-130H, WY-ANG, 92-1535.
C-130H, WY-ANG, 92-1531.
C-130H, WY-ANG, Tail # was 15315. No idea what that one equates to.
LC-130, NY-ANG, 92-1094, ("Pride of Glenville.")
T-1A, Randolph, 92-0340. Had red tail cap and horizontal stabs and was 
lettered
"Tuskegee Airmen"
F-16C, CO-ANG, 86-0339.
T-6A, 37 FTS, Columbus, 06-3814.
AH-64A, UT-ArNG, 90-0453

C-45H, N40074, Tail 21904, Serial AF843
T-33, WY-ANG colors, 53-6661
F-86L, WY-ANG colors, 53-0806
MiG-17F, NX9050M, "Red Storm". Was going to do a demo, but when he started to 
taxi out his nose gear collapsed. Needless to say, demo was cancelled.
T-33, N514RH, 
T-6/SNJ-5, N212TC, Tail 2141732.
Let L13AC Glider, Air Force Academy, N212TC, Serial 02-8902.
Boeing PT-17, N212PC (Stunt plane)
Thunderbirds were doing a show about 5 miles to the south, but didn't really 
bother to listen too much. #6 came back early with a problem. Didn't see #7, 
but there were
two #3's; one of which was in the hanger for maintenance.
Not as many fighters at this year's show, and not nearly as many military 
demos as in years past. But it's better than nothing.
