Apparently a TSGT got a ride while they were down there for DS17.  Lucky bastard   Snagged from Eielson AFB Facebook.

Oh man, I'd love to be able to get on base to take photos of the flight line.  Outside of open houses, no luck so far.

I'm curious to the flight plan on it all.  Stop off in Hawaii then Japan, Philippines, etc?  That's a lot of airtime to be wearing a diaper in case you have to go.

Eielson has the 18th Aggressor Squadron now.  Could be wrong, but I think the Russian iconography started when the aggressor guys were flying Russian gear or faking it back in the cold war.  Kinda just stuck to it.

Oh.  What the hell do pilots do on a retardedly long flight then?  Can't imagine having a piss bottle floating around is exactly safe.  Not that I really want to know, but since we've already gone there

On a commercial carrier that is an almost 23 hour flight with one stop, I couldn't imagine what it would be like in a 16.

Good god, just think of trying to walk after being cooped up in that cockpit for more then 8 hours or so.

I believe they wear Foley cathaters...it is like a condom with a tube that goes to a bottle on your ankle. We used to put them on patients we had in 4 pt..restraints for long periods.

It's what they do.  They play the "Russians" in exercises.  Or as Eielson AFB puts it:

The 18th Aggressor Squadron opened on 24 August 2007. The 18 AGRS prepares Combat Air Force, joint and allied aircrews for tomorrow's victories through challenging, realistic threat replication, training, test support, academics and feedback. The Aggressors job is to know, teach and replicate the threat better than any other squadron.

Welcome to the most horrible 9 hours of hell while flying 

Don't get me wrong, I love flying.  Would have loved to be a pilot but with my medical crap I can't even get a sport license.  Much respect for the .mil pilots that deal with way way more shit, literally or figuratively.

Edit:  Except Taylor because he's a lifer   Lines wise, I have to say I prefer the F-16 and A-10 to pretty much anything else in use at the moment.  But I am biased since I grew up on Eielson and was brought into the hangars on occasion while my dad worked on those models.

I always hated the powder version.  There was also a sponge version.  Nowadays all i do is put the simulator on freeze, get out and go piss then jump back in the sim.

I'd have sworn there was a thread a few days about upgrading the F-16 to newer block models so they can take over some work from older F-15 airframes.

The B model (2 seater) is still in use in spots, but I'm unsure of what it is used for outside of training and giving people rides.  Pretty sure someone will come in with that info though.

LOL, i crossed the pond 4 times in the Viper and once in the Hog when we deployed to Desert Shield/Storm.  We were the first unit to takeoff from the CONUS after sadam, (purposely not capitalized) about 10,days after he invaded Kuwait.  That was an eye opening deployment for a new Lieutenant.  The KC-135 my cell was locked into seemed to search for the weather and drive us there.  That sucked!  IN VMC it was a great ride, hanging on the wingtip lights in IMC sucked, especially when it was time to plug in and take gas.  

Crossing the pond from Spang on my first pond crossing in the Viper to Tyndall i had to borrow Gen Ryans Poopie suit since that was the only size that fit me.  Ryan was a big dude.  I did piss in his suit since i was too damn tired to unzip the suit and use the piddle pack.  I kinda did that to display my dominance.  Never had the urge to dump.  Imodium AD was the standard when crossing the pond.  We also had the go/no go pills back then.  I never needed the go pill, but did like the no go pill.

Flights don't get quieter than when dragging A-10s.  There's so little wind noise and the heat is barely having to work.  Kinda makes the jet a little eerie.

Knuckle dragging crew chief.  I was a breath away from going to boom school, but it fell out.  I can't complain about how it's treated me though.

I would say you are correct.  If there are any a/b still flying its probably foreign countries.
