Photo Comment

This was the seventh F-15A to come off the production line and spent its service life as a testbed at Edwards AFB and then Chanute AFB. It had been on display at the Chanute museum since 1993 and is pictured here being dismantled after the museum's closure, on its way to the Saint Louis Science Center. On 20 July 2022 it was transported to the Combat Air Museum in Topeka, Kansas and on display at that facility. On loan from NMUSAF.
