No one's dad had any say in who got what, and Kirk was a DG. He may have been the top stick in the class, but it's been 30 years and I can't recall. Maybe I'm remembering everything wrong, but he earned his assignment.
The mishap had a lot to do with crew rest, overseas PCS, and fatigue. It had nothing to do with dad insisting his son get an Eagle.
No, 1978 or 1979 F-15 at Bitburg. Radar trail departure, Mike M. USAFA ‘75, IIRC.
