Returning from an Alpha Scramble, this Eagle driver proudly waved with its machine's air brake to the nearby spotters and aviation photographers. 81-0048 was delivered to the USAF on 12 April 1983 and arrived at Soesterberg's 32nd Tactical Fighter squadron "Wolfhounds" three days later. It served the sole royal USAF squadron up to August 1992 and left for Tyndall AFB (FL). It became an GF-15C instructional airframe with the 363rd TRS, 82nd TRW at Sheppard AFB (TX) in March 2011.
