In the mid 80's the 5th Fighter Interceptor Squadron converted from the F-106 to the F-15 Eagle. F-15s only flew over Minot until the spring of 1988, when the 5th FIS was deactivated. F-15A #76-0020 was eventually aquired by Britain's Duxford Air Museum and, in 2009, was restored to its original 5th FIS markings. Includes metal display stand.
Designed for the US Air Force as an air-superiority fighter with superior acceleration, range and maneuverability, the F-15 first flew on July 27th, 1972. This aircraft has highly advanced weaponry and avionics design, including low wing loading and a high engine thrust-to-weight ratio, features that account for its maneuverability and talent for performing tight, high speed turns. The F-15's original design was so successful that more than a decade later it was re-envisioned as the F-15E Strike Eagle, an all-weather strike fighter. As one of the most successful military aircraft in aviation history, the F-15 is likely to remain in service until 2025.© Copyright 2003-2010 The Flying Mule, Inc.
