The F-15 Eagle is an all-weather, extremely maneuverable, tactical fighter designed to permit the Air Force to gain and maintain air supremacy over the battlefield. The Eagle's air superiority is achieved through a mixture of maneuverability, acceleration, range, weapons, and avionics.
The F-15's superior maneuverability and acceleration are achieved through high engine thrust-to-weight ratio and low wing loading. Low wing-loading (the ratio of aircraft weight to its wing area) is a vital factor in maneuverability. Combined with the Eagle's high thrust-to-weight ratio, this enables the F-15 to turn tightly without losing airspeed.
This 1:72 scale die-cast F-15C Eagle is part of the Witty Wings' Sky Guardians series. It is approximately 11 inches long with a wingspan of 7 inches. This plane depicts a Tactical Air Command aircraft based at Keflavik Airport in Reykjavik, Iceland during the late 1980s and 1990s.
The model has extensive detailing, including features like metal landing gear, external drop tanks, workable rudders, and functional speedbrake. The detailed cockpit includes a pilot figure and features and opening canopy. The model also includes a full ordinance package and a display stand.
