In case you haven't seen it elsewhere, F-15B 76-0124 has been an instructional/training airframe at RAF Lakenheath for many years (still is). I'm not sure what year it finally moved there. Here's a couple links: http://www.lakenheath.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123358082 http://forums.airshows.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=40494&start=100#p470570 08/01/2013 @ 09:04 [ref: 67993] |
| H Brantly , FL | Hello, I crewed 76 0124 in the late 80s at Tyndall AFB. Does anyone know what became of her. In late 1987/88 it was the top flying aircraft on the base. Thanks! 12/14/2012 @ 02:33 [ref: 67421] |
| Jim Price Kilmarnock, VA | A quick check of Joe Baugers website shows a/c 76-0130 at AMARC on Sept. 3, 2003 09/13/2012 @ 09:45 [ref: 67215] |
| David , SC | If anyone could post some pictures of 75-0085 that would be great. It crashed December 6, 1977 on the Nellis Range. I'd like to speak to anyone that may know or heard anything concerning this aircraft. 03/10/2012 @ 04:46 [ref: 54204] |
| Todd Menard Boca Raton, FL | Please post pics if she does get the display spot. It will be cool to see the jet I maintained, used as a display.

| Brian , GA | As of 1 December 2010, 76-0132 will be finally retired from service as a trainer at RAFB, GA. She has been replacde with an F-15C that shot down two MIGs during the Gulf War. As for her next mission in life, we are hoping to put het out front of the museum at Warner Robins, GA. I will still be taking care of her until whenever. This has been a great trainer and all of her systems still work for training. She will be missed as the trainer but she will stand proud (hopefully) in front of our museum. I do have some pictures of her over in her new spot while we de-mil her for her next adventure in life! 11/17/2010 @ 09:21 [ref: 33314] |
