A few days after this picture was taken, this F-15A, while operating from Gilze-Rijen AB, Netherlands, under deployment "Coronet Mescalero" was damaged by engine fire when on final for landing on 13 June 1986. The pilot managed to land the aircraft safely, but extensive repairs were necessary. The aircraft was brought to Soesterberg AB by road and from there flown back to the US in a C-5 on 25 September 1986.
