Bob Wilmer was by reputation a real pain, but oh man could he cook. The F-16 is pure brilliance.
Salute!
You know you are getting old when most of the planes you flew are retired or handed off to another user.
I salute the Norway troops I flew with in 1979 for my own check out, and theirs. They flew the very first Vipers in the frozen north and helped develop many inprovements on the beauty.
Gums sends...

I knew the total order was above 50, if we kept pace like for like per capita, we should be looking between 400 and 500 delivered so far.:}
