Dos Gringos is a rock band formed by two US Air Force F-16 pilots, Chris "Snooze" Kurek and Rob "Trip" Raymond in 2001.
The band was formed when Chris Kurek and Rob Raymond were stationed at Cannon Air Force Base in New Mexico.
[2] Dos Gringos have incorporated a variety of different styles into their music, from more folk-style ballads like "2's Blind" to songs with more aggressive, metal-style instrumentation like SOS.
Generally, the songs are sung from the perspective of the band members themselves, lamenting the rising demand for Unmanned aerial vehicle pilots and complaining about the ease of use of JDAM bombs.
[2] On January 25, 2024, Dos Gringos performed for the 50th anniversary celebration of the F-16 Fighting Falcon's first flight at Edwards Air Force Base, California.
