July 24, 201312 yr Just sent it a couple of ex-USAF friends who were based at Nellis where I saw the Thunderbirds close-up. Thanks for the heads-up. Rick Almeida
July 24, 201312 yr Australia would be better off having the F-15 as well as Israel, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Saudi Arabia and the list goes on.
July 24, 201312 yr I prefer the F-16 but dang... The F-15 is a fighter! (in both meanings! - - Tommy - -

July 26, 201312 yr I remember that during one of the Gulf wars a F15 came back from a mission with a wing more gone than there. Even the pilot was amazed. The explanation was that the air intake was a lifting body by design and provided just enough to allow the plane to fly. Great plane! Great design! Reminds me of some of the WWII aircraft that were shot to pieces and still made it home. Mel
