LSP_Ron Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 He did, and passed away one month after the first flight. He flew beside it on it's first flight too.

Pete Fleischmann Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 This is my goal- to live long enough to walk into a restoration hangar someday and say “hey! That’s my F-16! I flew that thing in combat over Iraq! “ Cool thing is, my first F-16 was a D model, so I can go for a ride in it as a 100 year old fighter pilot- very cool story- cheers Pete dennismcc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
