| Hobby Master 1/72 scale HA4530: McDonnell Douglas F-15C Eagle #78-0543 Sandman of 114th FA, 173rd FW, OR ANG, USAF, Kingsley Field ANGB, OR, 75th Anniversary 2020. Production run of 750 models. Length 10.75 inches Wingspan 7.25 inches F-15C 78-0543 is assigned to the 114th FS "Eager Beavers" and on January 7, 2020 at Kingsley Field ANG Base, Klamath Falls, Oregon it was unveiled wearing its new paint scheme. The scheme commemorates the heroic actions of David R. Kingsley, bombardier on B-17 "Sandman" during a raid over Ploesti, Romania. The B-17 was hit and falling and everyone was baling out. Kingsley spotted the wounded tail-gunner whose parachute was missing so Kingsley gave the gunner his own parachute. Kingsley died and 75 years later is being honored for his supreme sacrifice with this special scheme. Designed to meet US Air Force requirements for an air superiority fighter to replace the F-4 Phantom, the F-15 Eagle first flew on July 27, 1972. Following reviews of proposals, the United States Air Force selected McDonnell Douglas's design in 1969 to meet the service's need for a dedicated air superiority fighter. Since entering 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. |
