And I agree wholeheartedly. The F-15 was a superior air-to-air fighter. The argument could be made that the F-15 was the reason the Russians built the MIG-29 |

And the Soviets built the MiG-29 because of the F-16 and F-18. We built the F-15 because of the MiG-25, if memory serves.

I miss the sound of them idling on the ground and roaring past on takeoff. My favorite fighter, followed closely by the A-10 and F/A-18 Super Hornet.

I remember when we first got a look at the F-117. Everybody was in awe of it, then the pilot basically called it a piece of stripped down shit that flew like a trainer, lol. |

Col John Boyd, the father of the F15, F16 and to an extent the F18. An incredible man who was influential to three generations of military officers, and at the highest echelons of our government. And you may have never heard of him...
If we had a few more people a little like him, we wouldn't have dogs like the F35. |

He's an orthopedic surgeon now, and had all his schooling paid for. He's done quite well for himself, and now owns 2 aircraft for his private enjoyment. He was just in KC in May to go through instruction and training at Garmin headquarters for one of their newer flight decks. I'm not 100% sure, but I think he just upgraded and got a new bird.
