HuggyU2 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) Surprised it wasn't posted yet, but happy 50th to the Eagle bubbas here. An amazing combat aircraft and a brilliant piece of American technology. Edited July 28, 2022 by HuggyU2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motofalcon Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 As proud as I am of being a proper single-seat, single-engine, single-tail fighter pilot… I can give respect where respect is due. You’ll never hear me say it out loud in a public forum or at a Flag, but I know Eagle drivers are goddamn good at their job, and I wholeheartedly hope they are my escort team lead on night 1, no matter the theatre. I am proud to be 4G4L with them - 4th Gen 4 Life!!! Happy Birthday fellas! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they kept it on the down-low and had a private celebration with their crew chiefs. 1 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springer Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 (edited) Hard to believe Huggy. Lots of "50th's" this year. Not to take away from the Eagle but it is also the 50th for Van's Aircraft. 11,114 built and flown! It's the 50th for me after soloing on Ford Island, Hawaii.

Biff_T Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I always enjoyed the sight of a flight of Eagles (burners lit) joining up with us at night. Happy birthday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
