STL-F-15C

The F-15C Eagle is the improved single-seat version of the McDonnell Douglas air superiority fighter, whose first prototype flew in July 1972. Compared with the original F-15A it carries more internal fuel and can mount conformal fuel tanks along its intakes. The F-15 family holds a combined record of 104 air-to-air victories without a single loss in air combat, and during the 1991 Gulf War alone USAF F-15Cs were credited with 34 Iraqi aircraft. From 2010 the Air National Guard began receiving F-15Cs modernised with the Raytheon APG-63(V)3 AESA radar, known as the Golden Eagle. This camouflage represents the 114th Fighter Squadron of the 173rd Fighter Wing at Kingsley Field, Oregon, the unit that trained F-15C pilots there from 2004 to 2025. In February 2014 Kingsley received an F-15C from the aggressor squadron at Nellis AFB still wearing its tan desert "lizard" camouflage. The wing simply added Air National Guard and 173rd emblems and flew it in those colours until its planned repaint. Mod by STL785.
