MiG killer 85-125 gets special nose art

The 104th Fighter Wing has painted an American flag on the nose of its flagship F-15C and the graphic is composed of the names of members in the wing as well as those who had lost their lives while serving the 104th Fighter Wing.

U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Leo Burbee, 104th Maintenance Group, aircraft structural maintenance supervisor, touches the graphic on the wing’s flagship F-15C Eagle at Barnes Air National Guard Base, Mass. Jan. 22, 2021. The graphic featured on both sides of the F-15, appears to display the American Flag, but upon closer look, the hundreds of names of members in the 104th Fighter Wing are visible.

The roughly six-foot by four-foot nose art graphic is painted on both sides of the aircraft and the names of those who had fallen are painted in gold color.

This F-15C #85-125 scored a kill against a Iraqi MiG-29 on Jan. 17, 1991 using a AIM-7 missile.
