The U.S. Air Force is hosting a series of events to mark the 50th anniversary of the maiden flight of the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle.

Boeing will kick off the celebrations on Jul. 27 in St. Louis where the F-15 is still being produced at the plant there.
A static display will be put up at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base for program officials to mark the occasion. Retired Col. Cesar Rodriguez, who had three air-to-air kills on the Eagle, will attend the event.

Do consider the installation of a F-15 Mig killer at the National Museum of the Air Force, Udvar Hazy Museum and other aeronautical museums around the country. That would be the best way to honor the F-15 Eagle.
