These high-performance aircraft were part of a proud legacy that began with the F-15’s maiden flight in the 1970s. The F-15C variant was a formidable air superiority fighter, armed with a 20mm M61 Vulcan cannon and a range of air-to-air missiles, including the AIM-7 Sparrow and AIM-9 Sidewinder. With its powerful Pratt & Whitney F100 turbofan engines, the F-15C could reach speeds of Mach 2.5 and altitudes exceeding 65,000 feet, making it an icon of American air power.
