This 9th built F-15A arrived at NASA on 5 January 1976. It was a former 6512th Test Squadron aircraft at nearby Edwards AFB (CA) up to November 1975. It was used by the USAF for spinning, high angle-of-attack and fuel systems development trials. After delivery to Dryden it became part of the Highly Integrated Digital Electronic Control (HIDEC) flight research program. Up to July 2001 the Eagle was on loan from the USAF. In that month it was reregistered to N835NA/835. From February 2006 is was reported at stored. GThis status was at least up to late 2010.
