NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev.—She’s more than 60 feet long and stands about two stories tall. She’s been many different col- ors — she’s currently grey — and shades of her past ‘lives’ can still be seen all over her body.
A lady never reveals her age or speaks about her past, but aircraft 83-3014 reached 10,000 flight hours during a sortie at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, Jan. 25.
The aircraft, an F-15C Eagle, is the first F-15 assigned to a Nellis AFB unit to hit the 10,000 hour milestone.
“I’ve probably put in about 80 hours with her over the last two years and she’s just a great jet,” said Maj. Cody Clark, 433rd Weap- ons Squadron pilot and aircraft 83-3014’s milestone sortie pilot. “It’s a testament to the maintenance personnel that they could keep a jet performing for so long at the level at which she does.”
The aircraft came to Nellis AFB in July 2010 from Langley AFB, Virginia, and flew here as an aggressor — a “Red” force air- craft that replicates tactics and techniques of potential adversar- ies against “Blue” forces — before being transferred to the 757th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron’s Eagle Aircraft Maintenance Unit and flown in support of U.S. Air Force Weapons School and 422nd Test and Evaluation Squadron operations.
While stationed at Langley AFB, the aircraft deployed multiple times and was flown in operations Southern Watch
