A McDonnell Douglas F-15C just flew in to join our collection! There’s nothing like an artifact that can deliver itself. The F-15 Eagle is one of the most historically significant fighter aircraft since World War II, in part because of its combat record in the many U.S. conflicts of the past 50 years. The aircraft will go on display at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center soon. | National Air and Space Museum, Smithsonian Institution
