Where old planes go when they "die"

[AllAmerican75]

It's definitely not an F-4 or F-14 because there's no ovular canopy structure in the front. I just noticed that, so I'm narrowing my guess down to an old F-15.

Damn, that cockpit's got me stumped. Since it has all of the old "steam" gauges I probably isn't a newer plane. It's got a HUD so it's probably mid-seventies or early-eighties. My guess is it's an early F-15 or F-14.

Close enough. F-15A Eagle, before the wonderful MFDs.

Well, I "zoomed" it and saw it had a gun and AF style ejection handles --- and then checked "properties" and it said "F15A%20Eagle" .... so I guess it's an Air Force (B)eagle .....

I got another one for y'all. It's a little bit more obscure, maybe A4s knows what it is?

Argetnine Pucara. The Royal Marines blew a bunch of them up on the ground and a few more fell victim to the Sea Harriers.
