Hello all,
Retired USAF F-16 IP, now turned civilian-employee test pilot on the same airframe (and a few others). I've been lurking the forums awhile before I now introduce myself. Love the simpits I have found on here. Very, very impressive work.
Yes, you may ask me questions. I still have an active security clearance and work in that community, so please understand if I refuse to answer something.
Again, I'm very impressed with the simpits on here. Love the attention to detail.

Greetings Foghorn!
Great to have a real F16 pilot on the forum. Thanks for volunteering your expertise as well, I am sure you will get many questions.
I think it's safe to say that all of us would be interested to know more details of your career/background.
Welcome....

Hey Foghorn, and Welcome to VP.
Its always super cool to have real F-16 pilots joining us, and ofcause we all respect what you can and can not tell us, because as you have proberly always seen, many strive for realism in the F-16 cockpits.
So welcome to VP and injoy this side of the most famos Jet ever.

Cool to see the "real guys" pop in here
As you say, we care for the details, so don't hesitate to correct us on "mistakes"
Needless to say you are most welcome here
Are you planning to build a (desktop) pit

Wow, that's quite the career.. I would almost call bullshit that is such an accomplishment! I'm sure will gain much respect here and you already have mine.

So my first question is was "Foghorn" your official Callsign while operational? If not what was it, and how did you earn it?
