Has anyone told the Marines? We flew F-4s for awhile after they had been retired.

They are Marine E models. They have been up here all week getting some high altitude training before their next deployment.

Good dudes. Their CO seems pretty solid.

The ones I saw today looked pale gray to my eye. I saw them again in the afternoon in the Springs. I didn't catch any markings.

[Awesom]

As already noted by Hoser it was a USMC Squadron, HMH-461 to be specific doing cold weather high altitude training. These are off their Public facing Faceboook page.

That would be cool, 53s are awesome.

Edited previous post with imgur hosted photos. I am now squarely in the I hate photobucket camp as my images haven't been accessible since their data center outage.

There was a blackhawk on a flatbed that I've seen recently in the trucking world. I wish I took a picture. It looked amazing. Tons of tanks and hummers though. I want to sign up with where ever they are going.

Damn big ol' honkin' things!

I was wondering. Been some loud night flying over the house up here in the past week or so.
