The 5th Fighter Interceptor Squadron was based out of Minot AFB, ND, flying F-15's from 1984 to 1988. Its mission is to maintain interceptors and crews in a maximum state of readiness. They were inactivated in July 1988 and was reactivated as the 5th Flying Training Squadron based out of Vance AFB, OK in January 1990. F-15A #76-0020 was allocated to the Imperial War Museum in Duxford, UK, on loan from the United States Air Force Museum. 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.
