Hobby Master 1/72 F-15B "NASA" 836, Edwards AFB Airshow 2022 (w/1 x AIM-54 missile) Diecast Model Aircraft

In 1967 the U.S. became aware of the Soviet MiG-25 Foxbat.

This made it necessary to develop a new aircraft to counter the MiG-25.

The USAF rejected the USN F-14 Tomcat and issued its own requirements.

The solution came in the form of the McDonnell-Douglas (now Boeing) F-15 Eagle.

The F-15A made its inaugural flight in July 1972 and in January 1976 the first Eagle entered service.

The "E" entered service in 1989.

The F-15 was the first dedicated USAF air superiority fighter since the F-86 Sabre".
