Seven F-15Cs of the 56th Tactical Fighter Wing, homebased at Eglin AFB (FL) arrived at Soesterberg as part of the Coronet Trigger deployment. 86-0156, delivered to the USAF on 31 July 1988, was one of them. The Eagle was assigned to the 48th FW at RAF Lakenheath (UK) with the 494rd FS from 18 Feb'94. The Eagle became a double MiG-killer when Maj. Jeff 'Claw" Hwang with call sign DIRK 21 shot down two Serbian MiG-29 (serials 18113 and 18114) with AIM-120Bs during Operationa Allied Force over Bosnia on 26 March 1999. From Apr'22 the Eagle started to serve the 114th FS of the Oregon ANG. This photo is copyright © Stephan de Bruijn, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
