the F-15s fly, wondering which one was my dad. During the testing phase, the wing and tail tips were painted orange, so it was easy to spot them flying around.

Was listening to a podcast about the Cold War and the narrator talked about the F-15...

Would you be willing to share the podcast link? Love listening to history.

Incredible plane. You should read up on when an Israeli pilot landed an F-15 that had ONLY ONE WING!

mvtoro

I think that incident is covered on the podcast. Might be mistaken, but I do know the story

Nah gonna be F-35s. Buncha nerds

MojosDojo

9/11/21 12:09pm

What's your honest opinion of the 35, its capabilities, and the entire F35

Backcountry

9/11/21 12:13pm

Who wins in air to air combat? F-22 or F-35

Borg

9/11/21 12:27pm

Thats not really the F35s role. Not a fair fight.

Backcountry

9/11/21 12:28pm

It's supposed to be the most sophisticated aircraft, more so than the F-22,

Borg

9/11/21 12:31pm

No worries

Backcountry

9/11/21 1:20pm

It’s not more sophisticated but it was supposed to be cheaper to make

I thought they were F-35s out of Hill, but DesNews says F-15s out of Mountain Hm

BYU Grounds

Yup I had bad data. They were Strike Eagles out of Mountain Home!

Im curious how pilots get their call sign. Do you pick it? Is it given to you? Can you use one that has been used
