Those F-15s pictured have the Eglin tail letters but I bet the pic was still taken at Tyndall.

Tyndall used to host the William Tell Gunnery competition. For all I know they may still host it. I haven’t heard anything about it for a long time. Anyway it was usually won by Eglin. I think the very first winners way back in the F-101, F-102 days was a Canadian National Guard unit.
