U.S. CENTCOM is the United States Central Command mission to deter and protect areas around the world that involve the U.S. national interests and those partners in the regions. Its AOR includes the Middle East, Egypt, Central Asia and parts of South Asia. Between April 2020 and October 2020 CENTCOM deployed 12 F-15Cs of the 44th FS "Vampire Bats"/ 18 Wing based at Kadena Air Base Okinawa Japan to the Prince Sultan AB, in Saudi Arabia. Each of the 12 aircraft wore unique nose art and names; 85-0093 was "Chaos".
Designed 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. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
Hobby Master's 1:72 scale F-15 is produced with a high metal content using state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques. The model features near seamless construction as seen on all Hobby Master products, and this is particularly evident with the tight-fitting conformal fuel tanks present on the F-15E variant. Separate open and closed canopy and speed brakes are included, yielding uncompromising detail that functional hinges would lack at this scale. Other fine features include a detailed cockpit interior, a variety of ordnance and drop tanks appropriate to the paint-scheme and landing gear that constructed as completed subassemblies for easy installation.
