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.
