'An F-16C Fighting Falcon fighter aircraft of the 363rd Tactical Fighter Wing, Shaw Air Force Base, South Carolina, takes off for a mission in support of Operation Desert Storm.' Location given as Saudi Arabia but 363 TFW deployed to Al Dhafra, UAE and the photo was likely taken there, especially in view of photo 597277.

The American caption claims this is a 'Kuwaiti Mirage 2000C' taking off for 'a strike against Iraqi targets in support of Operation Desert Storm', and location is given as Saudi Arabia. However, it's an Emiri reconnaissance aircraft and as far as we can find out, the Emiri Mirages stayed at home at Al Dhafra. The photographer pictured F-16s of the 363rd TFW, which deployed to Al Dhafra, on the same day. Photo by: Perry Heimer / National Archives at College Park, Maryland

A sharp shot - US Navy serial BuNo 122461 is readable on the forward fuselage. Assigned Coast Guard serial 461 is not (yet) worn. Originally ordered by the USAAF as an XR-13 (YH-13), 46-254.

This is a Mi-17, with the tail rotor on the port side, and a passenger model with large square windows. It is overflying shooting range A near Mubarak Military City, a base to the west of Alexandria which we could not pinpoint and which will surely have been renamed following Hosni Mubarak's removal from power in 2011.

The photo relates to the search for the remains of an American A-7 Corsair pilot who crashed near the Dong Nua (not Doug Nua) mountain, Quang Binh province. The Mi-8 is ex 7828 of the Vietnamese air force. The operator later became Ty Trực Thăng Việt Nam, or Vietnam Helicopters - VNH in English. This Mi-8 was noted militarized again as 7828 in 2019.

A C-130 and an H-21 of the 21th Composite Wing, likely at their home base, Elmendorf. The C-130 wears the 21th CW's sword badge on the tailfin and the Firebird badge of the 17th Tactical Airlift Squadron on the forward fuselage. It operated as a ski-equipped C-130D in Antarctica in 1960. It later changed to a very different environment, having been sold to Honduras, and crashed in the jungle on 14 August 1986.

Dull weather for this event at Rota but military aircraft were still colourful. Now of course painted grey, this helicopter is still in Spanish naval service in the 2020s, as HS.13-5. The F-4E from Ramstein is 74-1648 and the KA-6D Intruder on the right is 152611 / AG-523. Photo from: National Archives at College Park, Maryland
