Kilted Drill Weekend

**george7** · 8th December 08, 07:54 PM

Finally a dress-down day at the Air Force base. The annual Christmas family get together.

The new and the old... that is uniform. That was the boss's last day in the military. (Thanks for many years of service and my first four years of leadership)

Girlfriend in F15 (or as she would say, F-150)

Possibly the first time anybody's sat in an F15 kilted.

We went to a bar after work. That is a coffee mug in the bottom corner. I think I have an addiction in common with the wizard.

Great photos. I'm glad you were able to enjoy the day with a lovely lady, and F-15, and your pipes.

Those are great pictures showing you out doing the things that you love! Thanks for sharing.

Nice pictures. You certainly look in your prime with the pipes.

F-15 Kilted is classic!! Don't think they make a pressure kilt though.

Way back when the F-15 came out they were stationed at Luke AFB near Phoenix. The elementary school there was the Luke Eagles. I was selling imprinted t-shirts for school fundraising. We did a cool front and back imprint shirt. The front said Luke Eagles with the front view of an F-15 comin' at you. The back had the distinctive back end of the F-15 headed away with the lettering Big Mean F-15. I think the kids sold more to their parents than to the students. One cool bird for sure.

The F15 has been in service since 1972 and has a planned service through 2025.
We haven't lost any to enemy fire, either.
That's a lot of BANG for your buck.

Being from the Airforce and ex fighter crew chief. I really like the look of the kilt in the bird. Good luck on your service.

I only wish I could wear my USA Kilts Army tartan to a function on base, and you even had sandals on! I knew I should have joined the Air Force.

Great pictures, you look like a natural plying the pipes.

Sandals are the official footwear of the state of Florida... even if I had to wear something to keep my upper body warm.
