There are a few of those flying around still I think. I saw one parked next to 8 and 35 in Philly the other day. Strange thing to see at night.
 
If someone asked you to fly it and you said "yes" then the aircraft can't be thhhaaaatt ugly.
 
Airplanes are like women. You....

I think I'll just stop right there before I get myself in trouble with the JC ladies.:D
 
i think there are one or two in el paso. i remember when i flew in and out of there i saw that fine piece of engineering.

It looks like u would hit the belly when you rotate, vs tail strike.:confused:

Oh, and I love the little antenna at the top in the front?
 
Worked with those at HSV a time or two... if I remember right, they have a very strange T/O and landing attitude: rather flat. The strangest thing I remember about it was upon climbing the stairs, you had to stoop until you could climb out of the belly and into the racquetball court...

Yep was one based in ELP for awhile while I was flying freight out of there. The pilots were kinda idiots on the radio. Bout a month or two before I left, it just left the base. I was told it stays south usually to prevent it from rusting and there was only one left flying. I guess it ships F15 cockpits whole or something like that.
