It incorporated advanced technology and a forward-thinking design, resulting in a highly-maneuverable multi-role fighter aircraft. pic.twitter.com/DNC7kyqUpw

The 199th Fighter Squadron flew the McDonnell Douglas F-15A/B Eagle from 1987–2009 and the F-15C Eagle, from 1991–2010. The 199 FS has flown the F-22A Raptor from 2010.
Many Air Force and Air National Guard squadrons still fly Eagles, including the McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) F-15E Strike Eagle. Other variants of the F-15 are flown by several of our foreign partners.
