Sky Guardians die-cast models - Genesis Collections product lines

The Israeli acquisition of the F-15 Eagle was initiated under the Peace Fox program in 1975. Israel became the type's first export customer and the first four F-15 Eagles were delivered to the Israeli Air Force (IAF) on December 10th 1976.

Since its arrival in the IAF, the F-15 Eagle continues to be Israel's primary air supremacy fighter, and is likely to continue to fulfill this role for many years to come. With a perfect air combat rocord of zero defeates, not only in Israel but also throughout the world, the F-15 will take an important part in any future engagement. The Eagle's survivability, excellent performance and combat effectiveness is in no little part due to the sound and robust design, best displayed by an IAF F-15 on May 1st, 1983. On a joint training flight with A-4 Skyhawks, an F-15D collided with a Skyhawk. While the Skyhawk crew had to eject, the Eagle crew managed to land their crippled aircraft, whose entire right wing had been torn off!

The Boeing (formerly McDonnell Douglas) F-15 Eagle is today one of the world's most formidable interceptor fighters. Although largely designed in the late 1960s and early 1970s, it still remains the primary air-superiority fighter serving with the USAF, and will remain so well into the first decade of the 21st century. In addition to service with the United States the F-15 is also utilized by the air forces of South Korea, Singapore, Israel, Saudi Arabia and Japan.

The first flight of the F-15 Eagle was made in July 1972. In November 1974, the first F-15 Eagle was delivered to the 58th Tactical Fighter Training Wing at Luke Air Force Base, Ariz., where training began in both F-15A and B aircraft. In January 1976, the first F-15 Eagle destined for a combat squadron was delivered to the 1st Tactical Fighter Wing at Langley AFB, Va.

The single-seat F-15C and two-seat F-15D models entered the Air Force inventory beginning in 1979. These new models have Production Eagle Package (PEP 2000) improvements, including 2,000 lb (900 kg) of additional internal fuel, provision for carrying exterior conformal fuel tanks and increased maximum takeoff weight of up to 68,000 lb (30,700 kg).
