The F-15C/D model is being supplanted in U.S. service by the F-22 Raptor. The F-15E, however, will remain in service for years to come because of their different air-to-ground role and the lower number of hours on their airframes.[3] The USAF will upgrade 178 F-15Cs with the AN/APG-63(V)3 AESA radar,[22] and upgrade other F-15s with the Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System.[23] The Air Force will keep 178 F-15Cs as well as the 224 F-15Es in service beyond 2025


Per Wikipedia so take it for what it's worth.

The 2 FS will deactivate on 2 Apr 2010...the C model will be kept in service with ANG units but eventually they will be gone from active service.

I guess just thinking about them being gone from Tyndall by the end of Sep is sad to me. They were to be completely replace by the F-22, but as you know the funding for the program was scrapped this year with more funding being poured into the F-35.

This will probably be the last flyover for the Beagles of the 2 FS. Can't wait for ya'll to see them.
