Who are those guys in log book pilot photo?

[bstar07]

I can find out many pilot photos on log book pilot menu. There have been there since Falcon4.0.
I found out more photos not in flying suit. They looks like civilians.
I am just curious who they are.
I am also curious if those people in flying suit are took from real pilots.

I think most of them were the original F4 dev team.

The guy pictured in M_A_3_01 (male, asian) looks like Gilman Louie, so you are probably correct.
Also, if you remember the original Falcon 4.0 introduction video, you can also spot his face as the real F-16 pilot

Remember the original pie loading screen? He was also in the back seat of the ‘D’ model on that; the photo was taken when Pete Bonanni took him up for a flight during the development phase.

Pete Bonani is present also.

Which one is Bonanni - M_W_3_16? BTW, what about 8th_FFW_DEEJAY, is it you?

If you don’t know Pete Bonanni, you don’t know Falcon 4.0. (Sarcasm)

[Dee-Jay]

For all newbies. (Do not take it for you Atze )

That should be in the F.A.Q. !!!
Q: Who is Pete Bonanni?

A: THE coolest man in the world.

This MAN deserved a statue!!

Another friend thats on the logbook pics is Simone (Simontek), the skinner of most russian airframes I belive.

As a General he ran into some legal troubles with his unit … At least there was much gossip about him … Makes you think if he even gives two shits about Falcon nowadays …

@Dee-Jay:

Yep

Are you a pliot? Would you tell me why your picture is there? What’s the meaning of 8th_FFW? Is that kind of virtual squadron name?

Picture is in a Belgian F-16 during a meeting in 2004 at CognacAB. I was in the middle of my in-flight training course at the EPAA (French Air Force flight school) flying on TB-30 Epsilon.

But only a version where he still has his status symbol: the mustache!

Of course do I know who Bonanni is, but in M_W_3_16 he looked so much different compared to the Falcon 3 Gold videos (Atze looking sighing towards his Falcon 3 compilation).

[Khronik]

Pete Bonnani…

[Atze]

@Khronik:

Pete Bonnani…

But wasn’t his nickname Boomer and not Magnum? :rofl:

Calling in the rescue choppers after his Falcon 3 tactics did not work…
