Delivered to the USAF on 5 September 1979, and started to serve the 18th Fighter Wing ('ZZ') at Kadena (Japan). In mid-2001, the Eagle returned to CONUS and was assigned to the 114th FW of the Oregon ANG. Then assigned to the 433rd at Nellis (as pictured), followed from early 2022 to again the Oregon ANG, but then with the 123rd FS. It was moved to 309th AMARG on 5 December 2022 for storage. Here the F-15C banks to the runway of Nellis over the Las Vegas Motor Speedway circuit. This photo is copyright © Stephan de Bruijn, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
