I was always partial to the Bitburg Eagles... like the armored cavalry regiments in Germany, they would have been among the first in action had the Cold War gone hot there.

Good choice Carlos! Those are the sort of marking I'd be after - I like the two tone grey and the Hi-viz markings. Not having much luck finding decals though - even Hannants is pretty thin.

I'm partial to the F-15's. Those are just beautiful aircraft.

That they are....

The F-15 prototype in overall Aircraft Gray, before the high visibility markings were added for flight test at Edwards.

You will notice that externally, the F-15 design has minimal changes. The upgrades have almost all been internal

Great Pictures Carlos!

It is a stunning looking aircraft and that's for sure. I used to have a great book on the Eagle - kinda wish I still had it.
