When Griffiss Air Force base in Utica and the base at Plattsburg NY were active we were up to our eyeballs in B52's about round the clock. Could look up and almost always see at least two B-52's in the air, sometimes more. Used to have A-10's at Fort Drum. Hardly a day went by when two or three A-10 weren't making practice runs on you at tree top level.
As usual, the military brass tried to use the F-16's for something they were not designed for. They were designed as a pure air superiority fighter. The military uses them for everything but that. The National Guard (the boys from Syracuse, as they were called) flew F-16's. They were a joy to watch. They'd flip those things around like you'd toss a pen in the air. Those guys trained hard. Was a real feather in their cap when they held their own in Iraq with the Air Force regulars.
Have a family member who works for Lockhead-Martin. Says the latest versions of the F-35 will do everything all of the current inventory of planes will do and more. Including the F-22 on the high tech end of the scale and the A10 on the low tech end of the scale. Time will tell.

In our particular hobby, we enjoy the nostalgic return to the days of our youth as we recreate many of the scenes that took place on the family farm that served as the stage for the first few acts of the play that is our live
