Wow, talk about a flashback....errr back in early 04. Those certainly were some trying days flying formation. We actually found out a couple things with the F-15 as far as formation goes. One, the bulkyness and overall design certain wasnt suited for a diamond...possibly why the AF didnt consider it a successor to the T-38. Overall, the F-16 also visually complimented the diamond better and of course was the ride of the Thunderbirds so thank goodness we were able to drop the 15 and move on.....but back then we were still pioneering formation flying so it wasnt a bad bird to start with considering we were mostly just trying to fly simple turns and passes.

Better late than never SilverOne!
