Where Wee Smalls Jets Once Roamed Free

Hey! Didn't you use to hang out at Falcon Stadium?
Any one out there that's a long-time Air Force Falcon football fan? Do you remember something like the the plane in the above photo at Falcon Stadium? I swear there were others too. Small replicas of a F-4, F-15, F-16 & Space Shuttle that use to putter about in the South end zone during games? I can only find vague Sasquatchesque photos of the damn things and want to confirm that I didn't dream up the whole, wonderful thing.

Nose of a F-15 peeking out behind a
Eric Faison INT against Navy in 1990.
Tail fins of a F-15 in this old school Falcons photo.
The sidelines now are domain of photographers, military brass and other hangers-on. It'd be a nice distraction to see one of us get run down by a little jet every now and then. You know, for the kids? Just sayin'.
