Here is a small selection of small tailed Block 5 and 10 F-16As that I shot as Guard and Reserve jets.
Since I worked the early F-16A/B's at Luke in the 1980s, I have been fond of the Block 1, 5 and 10 F-16s with their small chord stabilators.
Enjoys the photos!

Aircraft of the Oregon ANG
Continuing with my little series of Air National Guard (ANG) units, here is a look at the units assigned to the 142d Fighter Interceptor Group (FIG), Oregon ANG. The 142d had two fighter units assigned, the 123d Fighter Interceptor Squadron (FIS) based at Portland IAP, OR as well as the 114th Tactical Fighter Training Squadron (TFTS) based at Kingsley Field in Klamath Falls OR. I hope you enjoy this look back at the various aircraft operated by the Oregon ANG in the 1980s and 1990s.
Fighters of the Georgia ANG
Here is a look back at the fighter aircraft operated by the 116th TFW, Georgia Air National Guard (ANG) that were based at Dobbins AFB in Marietta GA. I grew up in Atlanta and remember seeing the Georgia ANG F-100s and F-105s. It was also cool seeing the AFRES C-124s and C-130s that operated out of Dobbins. In 1996, the Georgia ANG transitioned from F-15A/B aircraft to the B-1B aircraft and moved to Robins AFB in south Georgia. The 116th BW operated the "Bones" up to 2002 when the wing transitioned to the Airborne Command and Control mission as the sole USAF operator of the E-8 JSTARS aircraft. Here is a look back at the F-105F/Gs, F-4Ds, and F-15A/Bs operated by the Georgia ANG from their home base of Dobbins AFB.
Adversary F-5Es
Here is a look back at some of the F-5E's used by the various 'Adversary' training squadrons of the US Navy and Marine Corps. These unit's mission was to train fleet Navy and Marine fighter units with dissimilar aircraft emulating Russian tactics. The F-5E aircraft used in this role as a MiG-21 analog were originally slated to go to the South Vietnamese Air Force, but were embargoed and used by the Navy and the USAF as training aircraft at the Naval Fighter Weapons School as well as the Aggressor units at Nellis AFB. Enjoy this look back at the F-5E aircraft in an interesting array of camouflage schemes.
California ANG Aircraft
Here is a look back at aircraft of the California Air National Guard (ANG) back in the 1980's Included are aircraft from the 196th Tactical Fighter Squadron (TFS)/ 196th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron (TRS) based at March AFB, the 194th Fighter Interceptor Squadron (FIS) based at Fresno Air Terminal, as well as the 115th Tactical Airlift Squadron (TAS) based at Van Nuys Airport. I hope you enjoy this look back at the aircraft of the CA ANG!
