Double MiG-29 killer; F-15C 86-0156, retires to the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force

Posted on by alert5

The only F-15C to score two MiG-29 kills has been retired to the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force on Apr. 25. Lt. Col. Matthew “Beast” Tanis flew #86-0156 from Barnes Air National Guard Base in Massachusetts to Dayton, becoming the last person to fly the jet.


Tanis flew a few circuits over Dayton to burn off excess fuel in the tanks before making the last landing of this fighter.

During the NATO-led air campaign against Yugoslavia in March 1999, Captain Jeff “Claw” Hwang of the United States Air Force shot down two Serbian MiG-29 fighter jets with this F-15C Eagle.

  1. We need to add F-16C 91-something which shot down a Mig-29 to repose next to our F-15C at the National Museum of the Air Force
