Nice thread to come by. Its neat to know about that fighter too. I would watch the HUD video every few years but now I know what it's from. Does anyone know if the two that had to punch flew fighters after that? Where are they today?
Yes, both of the pilots in the infamous Package Q video returned to the cockpit - one of them, Mike 'Cujo' Roberts, in 87-0228 that day, is the pilot pictured two posts above yours! The other Jeff 'Tico' Tice, who was in 87-0257, currently flies in the airlines in the southwestern US - as does 'ET' Tullia who you are flying along with, dodging Iraqi SAM's, as you watch the video. And just because ET's life wasn't exciting enough, he has recently qualified as a volunteer fireman as well.
