The McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle is an American twin-engine, all-weather tactical fighter aircraft designed by McDonnell Douglas. Following reviews of proposals, the United States Air Force selected McDonnell Douglas's design in 1969 to meet the service's need for a dedicated air superiority fighter.
I have been to Thunder Over Michigan several times, and shot photos of the show many times. If I had one wish for ToM, it would be to have more airplanes like the F-100 there. I would definitely pay to see F-104 Starfighter, B-58 Hustler, F-4 Phantom... etc. More supersonic planes from the 1950's, 60's and 70's - or anything more recent - would generate more revenue from me.
I love seeing these vintage supersonic aircraft. This was from an era when new aircraft were being introduced all the time. Innovations were constantly increasing speed and manueverability, and the battle to build the "best" aircraft was hot and heavy. But we have had the F-16 and F-18 since the 1970's!
In any case, kudos for getting the F-100 to the show. A MIG-25 would be nice, too, LOL!

Thought I'd finally drop on my Flickr in full living color one of the photos I submitted to the Museum of Flight's Spirit of Flight competition. Sadly, this particular one got rejected even with the cool background and the fact the 123rd Fighter Squadron's first lady pilot was flying this F-15 that 18 May 2017 morning.
Oh and (mostly black & white) pictures from my 18 May 2017 visit are up at flic.kr/s/aHsm16Fbue . Enjoy!

Sunliners In East Tennessee
A trio of VFA-81 Super Hornets, recently stopped through McGhee-Tyson Airport for fuel. The jets had a nice collection of mission marks from their previous deployment.

The F-35A will be integrated into advanced training programs such as the U.S. Air Force Weapons School and Red and Green Flag exercises.
