This F-16C was assigned to the 58th TTW, 312th TFTS and marked as the Commander's aircraft of the 832nd Air Division at Luke AFB (AZ). Prior to the 1992 USAF reorganization, two or more wings were under the control of an so-called Air Division. Luke has the 58th TTW for F-16 training, as well as the 405th TTW for F-15 training and the 832 AD gained both units. After the USAF reorganization in 1992, the ADs were disestablished, and a Brigadier General of the AD became the Wing Commander of the unit that they were based at.

The F-15 Replacement Training Unit (RTU) at Luke AFB (AZ) operated many single and dual seat F-15s. This F-15B belonged to the 58th Tactical Training Wing, 550th Tactical Fighter Training Squadron "Silver Eagles".

Any F-5 is a good one, but this one is a real good one :-) A rarely seen USAF F-5E of the 425th Tactical Fighter Training Squadron (TFTS) based at Williams AFB (AZ). The camouflaged bird carries LA-tailcode as the squadron was under command of the 405th Tactical Training Wing (TTW) of nearby Luke AFB. But, as that base faced shortage on ramp space, the unit was moved to Williams. The 425th was disbanded in September 1989 and most of their F-5E/Fs were sold to Brazil (this one became FAB 4871 or FAB 4872). Late 1992, the squadron was reactivated and now trains Singapore air force pilots with F-16C/Ds.

"That Others May Live", the HH-3E Jolly Green Giant was used in many (behind enemy lines) rescue missions. This HH-3E of the 71st Special Operations Squadron (normally based at Kirtland, NM) was seen at Davis Monthan AFB (AZ) during an exercise. The helicopter was placed in storage at nearby AMARC several years later, in 1992. In 1995 it was sold to the Tunisian Air Force as L82-105/TS-SRE.
