The Alaska ANG doesn't fly F-16s, despite what the web page says.

The F-16s are part of the Eielson AFB 18th aggressor squadron.

In fact, the photos are from this month's AIR International...if you look at the promo for the issue in the Key Publishing forums, it says as much about Ted Carlson's photos of the F-16s with the great paint schemes:

Ted Carlson/Fotodynamics.com ventured to Alaska to visit the USAF’s newest aggressor squadron – the 18th AGRS.

The KC-135, on the other hand, IS from the Alaska ANG.

Like that camo! Looks so much better than the Gray on gray on gray on gray on gray on gray on gray on gray on gray on gray on gray on gray on gray on gray on gray

They used to frequent the skies over Tampa Bay back when we had a training squadron here.

#6 pic is a marvel of timing....the strobe at full flash and a nice set of shock rings in the plume. I normally don't get to see all that from that distance...I'm usually at the outboard tip of the left stab when I see it.
