FYI - for all those AF types awaiting a tee time.

The Atlantic has a good article 'The Last Ace'

http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200903/air-force

and this photo - kinda grainy
Image

It's an AIM7
They recovered the picture from a Mig 29 - after Desert Storm - the Mig tried to engage an F15
They said they doubted that the pilot was able to process the information - before it exploded.

lifetime the F15 is 107 to 0 in air to air combat - they've never lost
