After having received 25 F-15A/B under the FMS program "Peace Fox I" as from December 1976, the 2nd batch for Israel were already of the improved C and D versions. As such, "Peace Fox II" constisted of nine F-15C (US FY 80-0122 through 80-0130) and six F-15D (US FY 80-0131 through 80-0136), with deliveries starting in 1981. Actually, 802 shown here was Israel's very first F-15C and touched down at it's homebase Tel Nof on August 25, 1981, together with F-15Ds "80-0131" (to become "450") and "80-0132" (to become "455"). See next picture for background information on 802's four killmarks. This photo is copyright © Adrian Romang, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
