Did the Air Force had the F-15 AGRS while you were in?

If you mean F-15s as aggressors, no they did not as far as I remember. I got out in 2000

I get a kick out of the paint schemes that the aggressor squadrons paint their jets.

Glad you like the photos of the aggressor/ adversary acft. The Nellis F-5s came to Luke a couple of times a year back in the 1980s. They were a treat to see.

No sir. [link] is a picture of an F-16B with a drag chute for braking. The inlets and exhausts you see in the tail and aft of the cockpit on F-16C models from Block 30 on were for an ECM system called ASPJ (Airborne Self-Protection Jammer) that was never installed in the F-16C's due to program delays and cost overruns. No F-16D's were meant to have ASPJ installed and hence do not have these vents. The Block 25's were not provisioned for ASPJ, but later block F-16C acft were.
