[MilCom] DMAFB Heritage Conference - 6 March 09

[FLANO]

Not too much has changed since last years' conference.  I spent the day on
the flight line photographing and monitoring the radios.

The "new" aircraft in the line-up is the Skyraider.  It's a lot bigger than
I expected.
Off the top of my head:
Modern aircraft - 4 A-10's, 2 F-22A's, 5 F-16's, 3 F-15E's, and 2 F-15's.
Vintage aircraft - P-51's, P-40's, an F-86, 4x QF-4's, and a Skyraider.
No "Tar Heel" this year.

This year the Air Boss has access to UHF radios and the Base TRS.
