The unit was reactivated in 1992 and equipped with the F-15E and flew during "Operation Enduring Freedom" and "Operation Iraqi Freedom". In 2006 the 391st were the first unit to operate the F-15E from Bagram AB, Afghanistan. The 391st calls Mountain Home AFB, Idaho home and is the largest Fighter Squadron in the USAF with 24 F-15E.
Designed to meet US Air Force requirements for an air superiority fighter to replace the F-4 Phantom, the F-15 Eagle first flew on July 27, 1972. Following reviews of proposals, the United States Air Force selected McDonnell Douglas's design in 1969 to meet the service's need for a dedicated air superiority fighter. Since entering service in 1976, it is among the most successful modern fighters, with over 100 victories and no losses in aerial combat, with the majority of the kills by the Israeli Air Force. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
