Oregon's 142nd Wing will be the inaugural operational unit for the F-15EX, offering a fresh spectacle for plane enthusiasts in Oregon to behold.

The 142nd Wing of the Oregon Air National Guard is gearing up for a substantial enhancement as it gets ready to shift from the F-15C to the more advanced F-15EX, marking the pioneering transition for an operational unit.

US Air Force Pilots from the 142nd Wing conducted tests on the F-15EX at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. They observed significant enhancements in power, radar capabilities, and avionics, contrasting notably with the outdated features of the F-15C.
