Fighter Jets in Addison ?

[SMKR]

Just Russians, nothing to worry about

Its the somalian air force

I was at the show today and they delayed the F4 demo by like 10 min. cause an AA plane had to come in for "emergency maintenance" and needed the runway.
So if they NEEDED to fuel I'm sure they would have postponed for them.
I only saw 1 Super Hornet though. There was another on static display but I wont pretend that I can tell the diffrence between the other models without something or someone telling me.

Good for you, I was there too. The f18's that landed in Addison were scheduled to land there for fuel, as I said before, they have a contract with a fuel company there.

Not quite, they have a contract through a company that's located at Addison airport. 04Mongoose said they typically have military helicopters show up but get a of some sort once in a while.

Thanks. I'm well aware how the govt fuel contracts work, but I stick by my statement. These dudes probably wanted to stop at Alliance but couldn't due to the airshow, so they had to find somewhere else that took govt fuel cards. I'm not saying they found this out while airborne, it was obviously something they planned for.

Maybe not a contract so to speak. Pilots going cross country look at good places to eat and the best support if their plane breaks when they are scheduling stops. We used to send or Hornets through Colorado Springs going west cause they gave the pilots a lot of "perks" ( discounts on food and if needed could put oil in the jet)

Addison may have a contract I don't know. I do know a lot of places go out of their way to be friendly to a plane that will take on 1500ish gallons of fuel at the government rate. Or more often charge higher but give the pilots reason to stop there. They know the air routes and options as well as anyone. A military pilot does not care fuel will cost a nickel more a gallon if he shaves half an hour off a leg. The fuel giver knows it too.

Interesting. I'd have to find out more details, from what I was told it's typically military helicopters that come in and get fuel from this specific company, aside from the normal everyday airport traffic.

Good for you too, no need to be a douche about it. I never said you were incorrect. If you had better reading comprehension skills you would see all I did was back up your previous statement about them leaving to FL by stating they were not at the show.

My office is at the end of the runway....almost annoyed

I don't wanna hear it, lol. I live just a couple of miles from one of the bigger fighter plane bases in the country. I hear the shit 365 days a year. But I'd rather live here and hear that than live in Norfolk, lol.

Not bad man. 60's and 70's. Maybe down in the 50's during the night and early morning. How long are you going to be in?

Are you active duty out there? I've got a buddy that's an aviation electronics technician with the Navy stationed out there. Not sure which wing he's with but I know he's attached to a squadron of F18's.

Yeah I'm active duty. I'm stationed out of the big base in Norfolk, but I live close to Oceana. I believe that all of the F18's are out of Oceana. I'm not around many air dales, I'm a sub guy.
