Description
The F-15C Eagle, flown by Rick "Kluso" Tollini, of the 58 TFS/33 TFW 85-099 shot down a MiG-25 Foxbat with an AIM-7M Sparrow on 19 Jan 1991 during Operation Desert Storm.
"The F-15 is a twin-engine, high-performance, all-weather air superiority fighter. First flown in 1972, the Eagle entered U.S. Air Force service in 1974. The Eagle's most notable characteristics are its great acceleration and maneuverability. It was the first U.S. fighter with engine thrust greater than the basic weight of the aircraft, allowing it to accelerate while in a vertical climb. Its great power, light weight and large wing area combine to make the Eagle very agile. The F-15 has been produced in single-seat and two-seat versions in its many years of USAF service."
