A crew from the 40th Flight Test Squadron successfully carried out the first AIM-120D missile firing from a F-15EX on Jan. 25.
The test took place in the Gulf of Mexico and a BQM-167 target drone was engaged by the air-to-air weapon.
Maj. Benjamin Naumann, who fired the missile, said: “I am humbled to have the opportunity to fire the first weapon, but the bigger success is the verification of the F-15EX capability to live-fire a missile.”
