QF-16 overview

[starize567ar]

Yes, there are still a number of unknowns so far. The only thing that can really help us is photoproof. For example. You state that QF-099 is 85-1566 and we had it as 85-1499 which both proved wrong since we now have photo proof it is 85-1400.

So just a warm call for anyone who lives in the viscinity of Tyndall to get out those camera's and start 'shooting' so we really know which tie-ups are correct.

Greets,

Evening Bjorn, yes duly noted. AF-001 > AF-053 I can confirm from a FOIA list I got, hence how I know QF-042 is 81-0728 and QF-043 is 81-0811. The list had some attrition info as well if of interest?

Nice to see 1091, 1095, and 1110 get blown out of the sky, too bad I wasn't there to see it. They were the bane of my existence when I was at Homestead.

Top! Info is noted. I will add it into the database shortly. Did the FOIA list also contain the number of sorties the aircraft had flown before being destoyed? Any chance on such a new list since the destroyed dates end in 2019 so I presume a lot of others have followed suite since.

Greets,

Unfortunately not, I only asked for a full list and attrition, since then, I have been unable to gain a more up to date listing, FOIA is a real pain to navigate
