Has anyone been on a Coronet deployment and when does classification expire?

I lost all of my photos during a flood in NC back in the 90's. Was wondering if any Air Force members have been to the Coronet "*****" deployments and had pics they could share. Not sure what could still be classified. Would anyone know if a 25 year old deployment could still be classified TS.

Since it's on their public affairs page parts of it are declassified. https://www.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/115966/coronet-mission-helps-fighters-cross-atlantic-other-long-distances/

I'd try querying the AF and DIVDS web sites for public affairs photos.

Classifications have variable lengths. It can be up for declassification and still not declassified. There are still WWII documents or sections of documents that are not declassified.

I was there in 1987/88. I would have to check, but I don't think it's classified any longer as the site closed in the mid 90's. The name itself was not classified, just the location.
