I am 100% positive that this aircraft was designed by Brian de Basher's ancestors.

Yeah. Watch your head. That looks like the B-57G FLIR, LLTV and laser designator under the nose.

That's my dad's unit. He's over in the Netherlands with them right now. That might even be his jet, for all I know (he's a crew chief). Go FANG!

Night takeoffs in full burner are spectacular; I've seen F-16's do them around here and I saw plenty of F-15 pictures years (and years and years) ago when I worked at P&W in Florida where that engine was developed.
