Rockhound, Talking about F105s is giving away your age, just a wee bit! ----- Original Message ----- From: AzRockhound To: listserv@azgeocaching.com Sent: Wednesday, March 09, 2005 9:01 PM Subject: RE: [Az-Geocaching] Vacationgeocaching-cachesinTucsonarearecommendations please I would guess the A-whatevers were originally A-7's and later (almost simultaneously) the A-10's. We had a training unit for A-7's in Tucson, then the Myrtle Beach AFB closing moved the A-10's there. Oh, and dont forget those F-105's. -----Original Message----- From: az-geocaching-bounces@listserv.azgeocaching.com [mailto:az-geocaching-bounces@listserv.azgeocaching.com]On Behalf Of Mark S Sent: Wednesday, March 09, 2005 2:52 PM To: listserv@azgeocaching.com Subject: Re: [Az-Geocaching] Vacation geocaching-cachesinTucsonarearecommendations please Lived on several Air Force bases. Family would come to visit and occasionally one would ask if we get tired of the noise. I'd respond, "no I never get tired of the sound of freedom." Apryl, you did a wonderful job of recalling the airplanes. The A-whatevers are one of my favorite airplanes to watch along with all the Fing airplanes; F15, F16, F5, F4, F111, F117. However, KC-10s don't lumber. C5s lumber. ----- Original Message ----- From: Apryl Clark To: listserv@azgeocaching.com Sent: Wednesday, March 09, 2005 2:00 PM Subject: RE: [Az-Geocaching] Vacation geocaching -cachesinTucsonarearecommendations please Where we used to live was right north of Luke AFB so we always had the planes zipping by overhead. My fav is the big old DC-10 (don't kill me if that's the wrong number/name) lumbering over the house. Always felt like the roof was gonna come down on top of us. I like watching the A-whatever's down when I went to UofA fly around as well. Navy brat here and married to the Army...sigh...2 WAY different worlds. Hmm actually I've dated a person in each of the branches...just thought about that. LOL!!! Sigh...
