Last day at work

[slck6t9]

Well today was my last official day at work. I am retiring from the Air Force and we had a Thanksgiving meal for the troops today. So I decided to take the car and get a couple shots around the F-15 that I have worked on for more than half my career. They didn't turn out to good with my camera but a couple buddies took some better ones for me. Just thought I would share.

if you ever need decide to work at Northrop Grumman and need a reference look me up.

is tha an ED tail markin on that f-15?

[novaderrik]

how many miles on that big hot rod?

[slck6t9]

instro84, thanks for the offer. The tail has EG for the 33rd Fighter Wing at Eglin AFB.

novaderrik, I couldn't ever think about the miles on that thing but it probably has about 10,000 flight hours on it. Just too bad it still isn't a number's matching hot rod.

You know, maybe the F-15 could be the Air Forces Pro-touring version of a hot rod. Great looks, big motor, big brakes, can do the road course in the sky with the best of them, great top end speed and one good extra--WEAPONS--

Permutation of a prior thread....

How many Eagle pilot drive their airplanes hard?

Thanks for your service.

My vote is for the 16, mostly bacause of its pt style manuvering capabilities. That thing will turn on a dime and give you 9 cents change! Just my opinion though.

[BMF Machine]

I don't know if it was the F-15 or the car? But my keyboard is very StickY now! Congrats and ThanKS!
