Fighter Squadron for sixteen years protecting the skies above the Pacific afterspending fifteen years flying for the USAF. TheMcDonald Douglas/BoeingF-15 Eagle shares a hangar with theMuseum’s F-14Tomcat. Both Fighters canbe seen up close and personal on the Museum’s Aviator’s Tour.

Visitors on the opening day of the Museum, December 7, 2006 saw theMuseum’s F-15 fly overhead as part of the formation flight commemoratingthe 65th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Flown byLt. Col. Anthony who performed the “missing man” pull up over the topof the Museum that morning, it is only fitting that this Eagle makes itsfinal home here.
