Airman 1st Class Austin Whitson, 4th Fighter Generation Squadron dedicated crew chief, conduct pre-flight checks for the 4th Fighter Wing’s F-15E Strike Eagle flagship named the “Spirit of Goldsboro” prior to takeoff at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, North Carolina, April 25, 2023. The 4th FW and 333rd, 334th, 335th and 336th Fighter Squadrons’ painted their F-15E Strike Eagle flagships to commemorate the wing’s heritage and celebrate the men and women who have paved the way for the wing. The history started with the Eagle Squadrons from the Royal Air Force, developed under leaders like Col. Don Blakeslee pictured on the wing flagship, who excelled as the first of many who helped the wing transition through numerous titles before becoming the 4th FW as we know it today.
