Q Kadena Eagle!!!

Now the Critique

1) Except for an airshow I never saw an Eagle without at least one external tank

2) Even with AB lit I never saw glowing flames out of the tail. There would be a glow as you looked in the engine from Aft but never extending out to the rear. The high bypass turbofans just mixed too much air in the exhaust. You would see the 'heat shimmer' but no orange flames

3) With gear down and the intakes depressed I believe the air brake should be extended at least a few degrees

But It's been a few years since I watched Eagles for a living Smile

Of course! I gave it a 5 The only thing better would be FF on the tail (With any tail number but 74-119 Twisted Evil )
