[simpits-tech] Flash! Beagle's Name Found! w0Ot!

[Gene Buckle]

I *finally* got confirmation of my suspicion!  My F-15C fuselage section
is *definately* 80-0007.

The jet was written off due to a landing accident in Soesterberg, The
Netherlands in 1981.  At the time of the accident, it had a mere 15 hours
of time since it was born in St. Louis.

If you've ever seen pictures of an F-15 taken mid-landing/crashing, you've
probably seen mah girl. :)


I would've liked to have thanked the pilot that "donated" my jet to the
DRMO, but he was killed in an accident at Langley AFB in 1986 or '87.
I'll host a virtual beer to him anyway.
