Description

Drill weekend for the 161st Air Refueling Group (ARG), Strategic Air Command (SAC). Aircraft vertical stabilizers are of the KC-135E Stratotankers. Unit is located on the south side of Sky Harbor IAP, Phoenix, Arizona. This is a typical morning sky during the monsoon with debris clouds from the previous evenings thunderstorms. Old definition of an Arizona 'monsoon' - three consequetive days with a dew point of 55F or higher. This was changed last year to 'Monsoon Season', beginning on 15 June and ending on 15 September, regardless of dew point temperature. Picture was taken in July 1985 and later scanned. Thanks for visiting, Sig...

Sig...I messed up. Yesterday I sat for 2 1/2 hours in the terminal at Sky Harbor waiting for a delayed SouthWest flight to take me to Kansas City. If I had you phone number...I should have called. The last time I was in the Phoenix area was 1962. THINGS have sure changed! Cool shot of the airport at dawn.
