EGLIN: Menguji pesawat tempur tidak kalah risikony dengan misi tempur. Para pilot harus menerbangkan pesawat yang harus menjalani tes dengan berbagai alasan. Entah karena setelah menjalani perbaikan, upgrade atau bahkan pesawat yang  baru pertama kali terbang. Sehingga kemungkinan terjadinya kesalahan atau kegagalan cukup tinggi.

Di Angkatan Udara Amerika Skuadron uji terbang ke-40 menjadi salah satu tim yang mendapat tugas ini. Mereka menguji F-16, F-15 dan A-10 di Eglin Air Force Base. Skuadron ini bagian dari Wing Uji Terbang. Dan inilah foto-foto skuadron tersebut ketika harus melakukan tes terbang sebuah F-15 Eagle. (VIT)
