Photo Comment

The Point of the Spear Squadron, that is the beautiful name of 106sq within the Heyl Ha'Avir (Israeli Air Force). This F-15D Baz shows its huge air brake while landing at Nellis AFB during Red Flag 2015-4. Also clearly seen behind the cockpit is the Israeli modification, a high bandwidth satellite communications system just behind the canopy. The secretive large bulbous R2-D2 like satellite communications dome is only seen on Israeli Eagles.
