NAWDC hot ramp

Naval Air Station Fallon is US Navy’s premier tactical air warfare center specializing in Air to Air and Air to ground training. Due to the vast size of the nearby ranges, 80% of all Navy munitions dropped in training is done in NAS Fallon. This is also the only Navy airbase that could house an entire Carrier airwing at one time for training.

From our focus on Naval Aviation, we will be focusing on NAWDC and VFC-13

NAWDC

NAWDC took over the role from the earlier Naval Strike and Air warfare Center ( NSAWC ) in 2015.

Currently they provide Service to aircrews, squadrons and airwing support through flight training, acadamic instructional classes, and direct operational and intelligence support. This include the famous Topgun,  (SEAWOLF) rotary wing school, Electronic warfare school, Growler Weapon School HAVOC and Carrier Airborne Early Warning school. NAWDC houses 2870+ military personnel and about 250 civilian and contractors. The current fleet  for NAWDC houses 54 aircrafts which include Legacy Hornet F/A-18 A/B/C/D, Superhornet F/A-18 E/F, E-2C Hawkeye, MH-60S helicopter, F-16 A/B, F-5n and E/A-18G. For our visit we get to photograph the hotramp for NAWDC and End of runway shots on NAWDC aircraft doing their routine training.

VFC-13 ” Fighting Saints”

VFC-13 provides Adversary training for Carrier Airwing, fighter and attack squadrons, USAF and other allied forces.

When we were on base , VFC-13 Fighting Saints did not fly , so we were only presented with Static and Hanger shots. VFC-13 flies the a mixed bag of 23 F-5E, F-5F and Ex-Swiss F-5N Tiger II painted in very colorful camouflage scheme that simulate our Adversary fighters. They wear Eastern bloc style Bord numbers with distinct variety of colorful adversary schemes of blue, gray, yellow splinter, black, brown camouflage. From this visit I have a list of jets by serial number that we photograph.

Don't normally post fighters unless they are refueling, but was looking for low level heavies and found this stunning photo with a unique livery.
