Eagle21 Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 I was digging into a box of "stuff" in my garage and ran across a May 1980 McDonnell Douglas booklet about the F-15. On the back it says "Dedicated to the Eagle Keepers" so I must have got it from McD's because I was one. Anyway, I thought one picture/page was rather interesting, a photo of a B-model loaded for bear (probably 71-290 or 291). Hope you like it JMC Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Eagle21 Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 JMC - interesting pics - and thanks for the additional info on the CFTs You are welcome. I figure 21 years worth of working on them is worth at least a little insight. JMC Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aggressor Supporter Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Looks like the birth of the Strike Eagle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alternative 4 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 One reason Israel brought the F-15 was because its lawmakers said it could carry bombs if need be. They were right and F-15B's was used in combat against PLO targets before the strike Eagle existed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jinxx1 Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 This morning I got up and decided to scan "a few" F-15 slides. Well, I am still scanning and don't know where to stop. All of these date back to at least almost 20 years. Some older. Some m ight have been posted here before, but these should be "better" than any dupes I posted before.

Berkut Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Does anyone have good pictures of Streak Eagle in the unpainted form? Also, what needs to be modified from the hasegawa 1/72 F-15A kit to truly represent the Streak Eagle? Or is it good to go OOB? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
