Item Description
Original Item. Only One Available. The McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle is an American twin-engine, all-weather fighter aircraft designed by McDonnell Douglas (now part of Boeing). Following reviews of proposals, the United States Air Force (USAF) selected McDonnell Douglas's design in 1969 to meet the service's need for a dedicated air superiority fighter. The Eagle took its maiden flight in July 1972, and entered service in 1976. It is among the most successful modern fighters, with over 100 victories and no losses in aerial combat, with the majority of the kills by the Israeli Air Force.
Unloaded or dummy grenades, artillery shell casings, and similar devices, which are cut or drilled in an BATF-approved manner so that they cannot be used as ammunition components for destructive devices, are NOT considered NFA weapons. This example is in total compliance and is completely hollow and totally inert. NOT AVAILABLE FOR EXPORT.
The F-15 was the principal air superiority fighter of the USAF and U.S. allies during the late Cold War and the 1990s, replacing the F-4 Phantom II. The Eagle was first used in combat by the Israeli Air Force in 1979 and saw extensive action in the 1982 Lebanon War. In USAF service, the aircraft saw combat action in the 1991 Gulf War and the conflict over Yugoslavia. The USAF had planned to replace all of its air superiority F-15A/B/C/D with the F-22 Raptor by the 2010s, but the severely reduced procurement pushed the F-15C/D retirement to 2026 and forced the service to supplement the F-22 with an advanced Eagle variant, the F-15EX, in order to retain an adequate number of air superiority fighters. The F-15 remains in service with numerous countries, and the Strike Eagle variant is expected to continue operating in the USAF into the 2030s.
This is a tremendous example of a missile taken from an F-15C. The F-15C featured an improved single-seat all-weather air-superiority fighter version, with 483 built between 1979–1985. The last 43 F-15Cs were upgraded with AN/APG-70 radar and later the AN/APG-63(V)1 radar.
The missile measures roughly 55” tall and still retains the majority of its stickers and nomenclature. The tail fins are roughly 20” from the end of one to the end of its opposite. The side has USAF F-15 C, along with a diagram of where to attach the wing sling. There’s also a “Hazmat” logo and several “No Step” labels, along with the power receptacle and the Battery compartment.
The bottom of the missile shows the hollow interior which is a bit dirty from years of storage.
This is a tremendous piece, the first F-15 missile we have offered! Comes ready for further research and display!
