Four privately owned jet fighters.

Did you notice what type were the privately owned fighters?

I will see Kfirs, A4, and Mirages pretty frequently. I wonder if those are Viggins.

Sometimes I will see one or two private jets that are part of the exercises. Almost always see tankers. Last night a KC135 went over the house, by the time I got outside it was sorta hidden by trees. There might have been more than one KC135 because of the number of lights I was seeing but only one was on flight tracker.

The three were Hunters, the rear was Kfir.

A few minutes ago.

And about an hour ago, two Mirages and one F16, all privately owned, at the gunnery range east of Yuma.

We hiked for a day on a military range near Yuma maybe 30 years ago. Amazing what's on the ground or there! We found anything from WW2 50cal brass, to small rocket parts (air to air?).
We checked in at the base and were allowed to be there.
