Nice catch, Jay. I've only ever seen those bad boys on static display.

Thanks... They actually had four of them assigned to that particular Red Flag cycle!

Thank You!

I don't think those are the hatches. Closer inspection puts them too far aft so I think they're just cooling vents. I'm sure someone with better knowledge of BOne Anatomy can clarify though.

Note the small window just behind and above the unit crest farther forward. I think that's about where the #3 and #4 seats are located.

I think those aft panels are where countermeasures are deployed from. Flares or chaff. I could be wrong!

Nice, I like the color one too, as I do love those afterburners.

I suppose I could have done a selective desaturation...

<URP! I think I just threw up a little in my mouth...> :shock:
