We were given an excellent briefing in the crew room as well as demonstration of the G-Suit and survival equipment worn by a pilot. Then it was over a HAS for a look at an F-15E up close. After an excellent lunch a visit was made to the Memorial Park to see the preserved aircraft. An excellent visit and we would like to thank our American hosts for a wonderful visit. |
