Just doing a bit of a confirm on the models we have here at the moment, it would appear we have a mixture of F-15A's and F-15C's. Am I correct?

The regs 78-0502, 78-0511, 78-0528 are C models according to scramble, but the others seems to be A models (77-0079,77-0077,76-0052)

So 3 C's and 3 A's???

I believe so. Yes.

Interesting mix.

C Model production started to kick in in 1978, so it could be correct.

Won't get up there next week unfortunately...busier than a one armed wallpaper hanger at the moment!

Got some more of those important three hour meetings at the local Andrew??

Macca,

Are you sure you're not related to our Nordic friend Gunnar Smithsen?

The F-15Cs are all ex-Kadena birds. Believe the older C-models are going to the Guard and Kadena should be getting younger aircraft from units (3rd Wing in Alaska?) that have converted to the Raptor.

I think despite the A and C designations, after MSIP and other fleet-wide upgrade programs, there is little, if any difference between the birds.

Good meeting you down at Fighter World last week Motty!
