The F-15 Eagle is celebrating its 50th birthday this month with events planned across the country. There will be a celebration at the Boeing plant in St. Louis where all the F-15s were and are still being produced on July 27. The following day, July 28, there will be a static display at Wright-Patterson and a celebration for program office personnel. On hand will be retired Col. Cesar Rodriguez who has the most MiG kills since the Vietnam War. He shot down two MiGs during the Gulf War in 1991 and another one over Kosovo in 1998. (U.S. Air Force graphic by Jim Varhegyi)
