Hmm, sorry, I really need to comment on this. There is 1 aircraft in both the pics that caught my attention. I think it is the one with the roundel on bottom left side. I think that is the F-15SG from the Republic of Singapore Air Force. They are attached to the Mountain Home Air Force Base for training.
