F15s. That’s it, just F15s

[OV-099]

Do you like F15s? Well Hillsboro (KHIO) had a few of them over the weekend, and I’ve got some shots of some of them to share with you all today. These are just the ground displays, my phone camera only produces grainy low res photos of those in the air. With all the vapor and afterburners on that day i sure would’ve liked a camera with optical zoom.

Here’s 87-0209, a Strike Eagle that flew in from Mountain Home.

this is the second Strike Eagle from Mountain Home. I didn’t quite get the registration number for the second one.

The tops of the last 4 digits are visible in this shot if anyone wants a challenge

84-0019 from the 142nd Fighter Wing at Portland. My favorite variant, the F15C

I spy a Horizon Dash 8 in the very last picture.

Owned by the community college or something like that around KHIO. Missing its left propellers, and probably a ton of other stuff as well but they dragged it out and it appears you could go inside

It just lurked over there for the duration of the airshow, always sticking up above everything else. You could look towards it, and without fail would it be looking right back
