Thanks to our friends at Scrmable for the item.Hurricane Florence prompts USAF aircraft evacuations
On 11 September 2018, some fourty 'FF' coded F-22A Raptors and T-38A Talons from the 1st Fighter Wing (192nd Fighter Wing), based at Langley AFB (VA) relocated to Rickenbacker Air National Guard Base (OH).
On 12 September 2018, Seymour Johnson AFB (NC) repositioned approximately sixty 'SJ' coded F-15E Strike Eagles from the 4th Fighter Wing and six KC-135 Stratotankers from the 916th Air Refueling Wing to Barksdale AFB (LA).
On 11 and 12 September 2018, the 437th Airlift Wing re-positioned ten C-17A Globemaster IIIs from Charleston AFB (SC) to Scott AFB (IL) and the co-located MidAmerica St. Louis Airport (IL) ahead of Hurricane Florence. In all, more than twenty C-17s and supporting personnel were evacuated to various locations.
The past few days, the 20th Fighter Wing at Shaw AFB (SC) relocated some fourty 'SW' coded F-16C/Ds to Tyndall AFB (FL).
The USAF's Hurricane Hunters of the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron continuously fly into the storm to collect information for a more accurate prediction of the course of Florence. The past few days, the squadron's WC-130Js had flown multiple missions into the storm.
Awesome period for aviation enthousiasts, tail spotters and photographers (or all those in one) at all those locations! Please, if you have been there at the right moment, share your experiences and images!
