Photo Comment

Delivered to the USAF at Soesterberg in early 1980. The Eagle served the Wolfhounds up to 14 April 1992 when it left for CONUS. It was assigned to the 95th FS / 325th FW ('TY') at Tyndall AFB (FL). The aircraft crashed into Gulf of Mexico on 15 March 1993, some 100 miles south of Tyndall, its pilot ejected safely. The wreck was recovered and last seen at Tyndall in January 1996.
