Was pretty happy and surprised to see the patch/badge I designed about 15 years ago be used as the main tail-art on one of the ORANG 173FW F-15Cs. This bird commemorates the 75th anniversary of the Oregon Air National Guard.










I retired about five years ago, and the patch remains the primary "badge” for the Oregon Air National Guard.












Never seen an Eagle dressed up quite like this, so thought I’d share.













My original patch

Hyd and brake failures. It's not robust like a Navy tail hook because the play out of the wire is so much longer.

Funny you say that. I know that Mach was an IP for a certain BG, callsign "Sly Pig" I worked directly with when designing the patch.

Too lazy to find it but if you google VFA-82 Marauders you'll find an F-18C painted similar. I didn't realize the AF did that.

IIRC bullf16's kid is there right now becoming an F-15c pilot.

To keep things interesting

As previously answered...certain system failures (somewhat aircraft specific) can degrade braking to a point where runway remaining could be an issue or cause complete brake failure. Also, it can be used for a heavyweight abort on initial takeoff...although the brakes are good to go they may not have the ability to stop the aircraft without the jet going off the end of the runway.
