Have to credit Cobra412... once I had the name, "Aaron Allmon", it was easy. :D

lol..No biggy Sandman.  I work on these birds and I've spent countless hours trying to find a game that depicts them correctly.  Plus there was just too many indicators that showed the probability of it being a fake was slim.  If it weren't though I'd have been amazed.  

The one site I posted is a good place to find info on the E model.  Steve Davies and crew keep their site up to par.  Plus there is a ton of Eagle Keepers and Pilots on that site.  Most questions won't go unanswered unless it starts falling into national security or even just sensitive information.

The pic (http://www.af.mil/media/photodb/photos/040316-f-2907c-123.jpg) of the F-16s refueling over San Fransisco is stunning...nice!

Now... feeling a little unclean from digging around in an Air Force site, I had to look elsewhere to cleanse my sins...

hornets are COOL!  :aok


makes me angry that we have alot of two seat aircraft here go up w/ the back seat empty.  I don't care if it's a T38 I'd love to get an incetive flight.  It's a great moral booster for us enlisted folk.

Too bad half these pilots taking pictures in the cockpit end up losing their batteries mid flight somhow and we gotta pull the ejection seats to go look for them.
;)

Had a pilot once lose a 6" maglight in flight.   It took 3 shifts of people looking for the sucker before he finally called in and said he actually didn't bring it work that day. :rolleyes:

cool pics though.

Somehow... Zippy the WonderJet just isn't enough to make me feel clean again.
