I work the F-16. The F-15 has a better record as I hear.

I substitute taught for a while. One day it was the AFROTC.

Between classes I would read their textbook. One thing caught my eye because my father worked at Eglin for 35 years.

It said F15s shot down 24 Iraqi jets with no losses. The First Fighter Wing at Langley accounted for one and the 33rd wing at Eglin shot down 23.

Despite that, every-time I saw an interview of one of the fighter pilots, it would be the First Fighter Wing.
