40FLTS F-15D taxis to runway 04. This is the Eagle that was recently written off while flying with the 114FS up at Klamath Falls when it ended up in the canal at the end of the runway. Pilot thankfully survived ok.

Delivered to the USAF on 15 February 1986, it served the 412th Test Wing up to October 2003 before it was transferred to the 40th FLTS at Eglin AFB (FL). It was then delivered to RAF Lakenheath where it was assigned to the 493rd FS. Following the retirement of F-15C/Ds at the UK base, the Eagle was then assigned to the 114th FS with the Oregon ANG. The F-15D the experienced an in flight emergency followed by a runway excursion after landing at Kingsley Field (OR). It came to a stop in an irrigation canal at the south side of the runway and is most probably written off. The sole pilot: ok!

Delivered to the USAF on 15 Feb'86, the then brand-new Eagle was assigned to the 6512th Test Squadron at Edwards for various kind of tests. It was only moved from squadron in 2007 when it was transferred to the 445th Flight Test Squadron at Eglin AFB (FL) where it served up to 2015. It was then assigned for first operational squadron duty with the 493rd Fighter Squadron at RAF Lakenheath (UK). After that base retired their F-15C/Ds, it was moved to the Oregon ANG where it served the 114th Fighter Squadron. In an accident, the Eagle departed the runway on 15 May 2023 and was written off.
