Photo Comment

Delivered to the USAF on 15 February 1986, it served the 412th Test Wing up to October 2003 before it was transferred to the 40th FLTS at Eglin AFB (FL). It was then delivered to RAF Lakenheath where it was assigned to the 493rd FS. Following the retirement of F-15C/Ds at the UK base, the Eagle was then assigned to the 114th FS with the Oregon ANG. The F-15D the experienced an in flight emergency followed by a runway excursion after landing at Kingsley Field (OR). It came to a stop in an irrigation canal at the south side of the runway and is most probably written off. The sole pilot: ok!
