Looks like something from the 70's, maybe very early 80s but less likely, based on no glass in the cockpit and all analogue gauges. But the joystick is a bit more modern so could be a retrofit. Bit hard to read but looks like English words so it isn't a Russian bird. I don't believe it is one of the main American fighters of the era but..... Good one. What is it? LOL
 
Sure make us look bad!

I have a question. Can someone please explain to me the letters on the side of the aircraft, what they mean?

Military aircraft will have a numerical/alphabetical identifier to identify specific aircraft in inventory. As well the squadron, the air wing, and the flight group are also indicated via a letter or a number. Often times specific squadrons also have a graphic image as the squadron identifier.

Civilian aircraft it’s just the “license plate”.
