Quick question - do any of the UK based F-15Cs ever carry the Sniper targeting pod?

The Sniper Pod is also used as a long range/bad weather visual identification tool, which is why some F-15C units have been carrying the pod since the mid-2000s.

As much as I admire the E you can’t beat an out and out fighter, naturally from the 493rd :thumb:
