Not really. The whole "Eagle-thing" has been going on since about 1983. The Eagles guys have heard it a thousand times, and just let it roll off.

Maybe... once it has been 50 years since the incident happened... it will be forgotten.

Then again, probably not.

Note: I'm pretty sure Speedy Martin was the SQ/CC back then.

Eagles can have the best air-to-air record, the Strike Eagles can play awesome bombing videos, but suck one......you know the rest.

Fact, at least a thousand times. I was hoping when the F-15E guys had one, very publicly, come out of closet the grief would finally end...nope.
"You can build a thousand bridges..."

Was that "low vul time" comment directed at Eagles guys? If so, scoff!
