I've been around military aircraft for over 35 years and this is still one of my all time favorite aircraft. The shape is so sleek, they look fast even on the ground. The paint on these aggressors really compliment them. Great shot from this angle Chris.

Chris,

Does his canopy rail read "CAPT...USAF", as in he's an Air Force exchange pilot?

Nice wing dips they gave you!

LOL.  Someone didn't read my article.   ;)  (And yes, that was deliberately douchey sarcasm).

Yes, VMFT-401 always has one Air Force F-15C pilot on exchange with the squadron, while one of their F-5 guys (usually a 2,000+ Hornet guy before coming to -401) does an exchange tour with an ACC F-15C squadron.  It's typically a two-year tour.
