USAF Tail Codes

FF is "First Fighter" from Langley AFB.

FF is 1st Fighter wing , Langley AFB Va.

Interesting. Well, this is south Georgia.

One other thing I found interesting. Apparently it is common practice to overfly the airfield in formation and then break away from formation one at a time to land. Yesterday while standing outside, I saw a pair doing just that to land. However, the lead was an F-15 and the wingman was an F-16. After they landed, another pair flew over to land. This time reversed. The F-16 was the lead of an F-15.

BTW, how did you find the tail code info? Or did you just know it?

Bones, for me, i was in the US Airforce...For fun 13 yrs. I was a Tech Sgt.

Every Jan in the USAFs Airmans mag it listed the current base tail codes along with other useful info on the USAF. I always keep a link in my favs to the last Jan issue. Here the code page and be sure to look at the whole issue!
