Awesome fighter and it has been around a long time since the 70's and 80's
#6 I fired everything I have.
At attention…Full Salute.
As another Marine I have to say this, There is no such thing as a half assed salute in my Marine corps. *winks*
10,000 Hours is quite the achievement. Congrats Cap'n
Good for Ryan but let's have a looks at his back seater Erin.
Air-to-Air? I got $20 that it shot down a Pred that had gone stupid. And Ryan didn't log all 10K hours. Damn feeling bitter tonight. I just miss Bagram I guess
I agree. I was at BAF with it when it shot the Pred, and for BTI- Yes 2,000 pounds of fury went through that poor bastards helicopter.
I think the facts are a little off here. Last time I checked the F-15 had a perfect kill ration of 101 kills and 0 losses. I think it should say the only "E" model with an air to air kill. (it hit a helicopter with a bomb!)
Good and best wallpapers.
