Western US AFB Tour – Part 1

Western US AFB Tour – Part 1

We will depart from Edwards AFB for a tour of various USAF bases in the western US.  We will not visit all of the bases in today’s flight.  We can resume the tour at the point at which we stop at a future date.   Bases include:

• KEDW        Edwards AFB (1)
• KTNX         Tonopah Test Range Airport (2)
• KLSV         Nellis AFB (3)
• KLUF         Luke AFB (4)
• KDMA        Davis Monthan AFB (5)
• KHMN        Holloman AFB (6)
• KABQ         Albuquerque - Kirtland Air Force Base (7)
• KCOS        Peterson Space Force Base (8)
• KHIF          Hill AFB (9)
• KMUO        Mountain Home AFB
• KBAB         Beale AFB
• KVBG         Vandenberg AFB
• KPMD        Palmdale USAF Plant 42

The FLIGHTPLAN includes an additional file “US_AFB.ln3” which can be loaded in the SSW TF104-G inertial navigation system to facilitate wayfinding.

Aircraft

This tour was planned for military jets.   I plan to fly the SSW TF104-G in Air Force Test Center Edwards livery.    The long distances between landings will require a fast aircraft but not necessarily require supersonic flight.  The default F-18 will work and so will the Hawk although it will be a little slower.  As always you are free to fly what you like.
