When I say “UPPER” … YOU, say “Heyford” …. “Upper” …..”Heyford” … If your wings don’t sweep you ain’t sh*t

So, if your wings sweep that means you are s**t? Glad my jets had fixed wings.

More than likely have "been there and done that at some point", it sure keeps you young if done correctly

Hey, there may be some credence in Vark Vet's thoughts. I had over ten years experience with the F-16. Now, I didn't have the tutelage of the original F-16 cadre from Hill or MacDill but I think I did well on the aircraft. But, I also have 14 years on the venerable Vark; in fact I sent many to the boneyard. . . quite the sad day. I played with the D's (thank Gawd they're gone), the F's (if weren't for that eyeball I'd say get rid of the thing), the E's (now that's a jet, boys) and the G's (an FB in tactical clothing). In the closing days of the Vark I don't think there were too many aircraft could best it. Okay, there was that time one of our G's lost all its spoilers in this tight turn going 1-V-1 on a Viper. But there was that time at Redflag that we killed a Viper 'cause the driver wasn't aware we mod'd 'em with AIM 9Ps. Naw, I'm with Vark Vet on this one!
