Assigned to the 159th Fighter Squadron of the 125th Fighter Wing at Jacksonville ANG Base, the aircraft commemorated the unit's heritage dating back to 1947. The anniversary markings honored decades of air defense missions flown by Florida ANG pilots, including homeland defense alert duties after 2001. The F-15C remained a frontline air superiority fighter at the time, regularly flying training and operational sorties. The special scheme highlighted both the Eagle's legacy and the Florida ANG's long standing role in protecting US airspace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flyingmule.com\/powersearch\/?Search=CAT_TYP_JET_FTR_F015\"\u003eMcDonnell Douglas F-15C Eagle\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDesigned to meet US Air Force requirements for an air superiority fighter to replace the F-4 Phantom, the F-15 Eagle first flew on July 27, 1972. Following reviews of proposals, the United States Air Force selected McDonnell Douglas's design in 1969 to meet the service's need for a dedicated air superiority fighter. Since entering service in 1976, it is among the most successful modern fighters, with over 100 victories and no losses in aerial combat, with the majority of the kills by the Israeli Air Force.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#0000ff;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHobby Master \"1:72 Air Power Series\" diecast airplanes feature:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMolded metal construction with plastic components.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRealistic panel lines, antennas, access panels and surface details.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInscriptions and posters printed with a stamp that do not fade or fall off like decals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eopening of awnings, revealing detailed within the cockpit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended \/ retracted interchangeable landing gear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisplay stand to display the aircraft \"in flight\".\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthentic detachable artillery cargoes complete with placards.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hobby Master","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49731063513243,"sku":"HA4578","price":210.47,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/9214\/7611\/files\/78160.jpg?v=1791919211","url":"https:\/\/passiondiecast.com\/products\/free-shipping-mcdonnell-douglas-f-15c-eagle-usaf-125th-fw-159th-fs-jacksonville-ang-75-2022-hm-172-ha4578","provider":"Passion Diecast","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
