From 1991 to 2010, the 3rd Fighter Wing, part of the 11th Air Force at Elmendorf AFB, Alaska, operated the F-15C Eagle as its primary air superiority fighter. The F-15C provided vital homeland defense over the northern Pacific and Arctic regions, equipped with advanced radar and AIM-7 Sparrow and AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles. The wing's pilots trained rigorously to maintain air dominance in harsh conditions. The 3rd FW's F-15Cs formed a critical part of the U.S. Air Force's strategic defense during the post - Cold War era, ensuring rapid response capabilities to any aerial threats approaching North American airspace from the north.
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 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
Hobby Master's 1:72 scale F-15 is produced with a high metal content using state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques. The model features near seamless construction as seen on all Hobby Master products, and this is particularly evident with the tight-fitting conformal fuel tanks present on the F-15E variant. Separate open and closed canopy and speed brakes are included, yielding uncompromising detail that functional hinges would lack at this scale. Other fine features include a detailed cockpit interior, a variety of ordnance and drop tanks appropriate to the paint-scheme and landing gear that constructed as completed subassemblies for easy installation.
