23rd Fighter Squadron "Fighting Hawks" , 1991 - 1993
This was an awesome jet, but the radar package sucked. All the pilots who flew it raved about how strong the engine was and how well they enjoyed flying it. But a few said that although they loved the jet, they wouldn't want to take it into combat because of the weak radar system.
