Some cool shots. Especially #3. Gear down and speed brake fully extended at altitude!
That particular aircraft now belongs to the Royal Saudi Air force and has been retired.

On which topic, the Saudi's at one point had the most advanced model of the F-15.
You have to believe that Boeing used its export customers to develop this machine at little internal cost - Qatar got some, and although not widely advertised, so did Singapore. I once chatted to a SAF F-15 driver who claimed they had the most advanced one.

Now the Eagle II flies, testament to the soundness of the original design some 50 years ago.

Still one of my alltime favourite war jets, and never been shot down.

The F-16 and the Eagle my two favorite fighter/ ground attack types since the retirement of the mighty F-4.
I've got a squadron pin from Republic of Singapore Air Force's Fighting Shikras squadron. They fly the F-15E version.

Singapore does fly a developed version of the Mudhen: F-15SG.
It was another foreign sales step in the deployment of the Eagle II
