Delivered to the USAF and its 33rd Tfactical Fighter Wing at Egline AFB on 19 May 1988. The Eagle is seen here arriving over the Soesterberg threshold while participating in an Europeandeployment named Coronet Trigger. The Eagle was damaged during an engine explosion on 1 August 1992, but repaired. From 1994, it was assigned to the 48th TFW at RAF Lakenheath (UK). Its career ended in the North Sea, some 75 miles east off Flamborough Head, East Yorkshire (UK) on 15 June 2020 when it was on a local training mission, sadly killing the pilot.
