Totally....AMERICAN Baby !!

Big engines...

Lots of fuel burn...

And a variable geometry wing built like a Swiss watch rockonsmile rockonsmile

Soon, the fighter group based @ Barnes Municipal (5 mins. from me !!) is switching to F15's.

I can't wait to lose some hearing

LOL, right..

I simply love those flying diamonds...

 

Hey Scott, A very good friend of mine is the squadron commander. He and I raced in the '70's SCCA, He raced a B16 Chevron Coupe chassis #004 He still holds the track record at Thomptson Race Track. He allways liked things that went fast. Absolutly stupid sending the F15's to Barns Airport! That's a lot of airspace to get "clearance" through for an intercept out over the ocean, but the suits know more than the uniforms in this case I guess.

but the suits know more than the uniforms in this case I guess.

Nah, the suits just think they know more than the uniforms.

Hey !

FRP, come to the hangar sometime and check out the birds under my wing, currently there are ...

2 Falcon 900 EX's
2 Falcon 2000 EX's
1 Challenger 604
2 Lear 45's
1 Citation something .. (affectionately known as the Barbie Dream Jet !!)

AN F-15 GOING 1500 MPH DOESN'T TAKE LONG TO GO ANYWHERE !

Come to the airshow this year there. Check it out @ airshow.com.

PETE,
You are so correct !

Cheers,

Scott
