I am one of about 4 people that was in the USAF who put an F-15C on black letter initial, I know of 2 others who did it... and for anyone who knows the air force old maintenance program, it was about impossible to do...These buzz us quite often... They're out of the Mountain Home AFB F-15E. Occasionally we'll see some kid of larger transport/cargo jet skimming the mountain tops too... It's hard to get pics because of how fast they're flying through... By the time you hear them they're almost out of site over the next mountain top..

its a status of the aircraft, meant no discrepancies, none, and it was verified by quality control...they sent out 5 inspectors and only found one loose screw....that was subsequently fixed.I'm playing my ignorance card on this one... What does "put an F-15C on black letter initial" mean?
It's a real good thing that we don't do that to Forum Jeepsits a status of the aircraft, meant no discrepancies, none, and it was verified by quality control...they sent out 5 inspectors and only found one loose screw....that was subsequently fixed.
Why do you think so many jeeps are Red? Like mine for instance?It's a real good thing that we don't do that to Forum Jeeps
There would be a nation wide shortage of RED pens.
A boss I had many years ago was an ex-mechanic. He claimed it took 5 vice grips to change a McPherson strut!This was too insane not to post. View attachment 310635
