JC Wings 1:72 Military Series JCW-72-F15-016 Boeing F-15E Strike Eagle Diecast Model USAF, #71-0291 Prototype, 1980, w/Ground crew. Limited Edition 500 Pieces Worldwide. Boeing F-15E Strike Eagle. The F-15E Strike Eagle began as a private venture by McDonnell Douglas. Designed to be operated by a pilot and a weapons system officer (WSO), the airplane can carry bombs, missiles and guns for a ground attack role, while maintaining its capability as an air superiority fighter. Its airframe was a strengthened and its service life doubled to 16,000 flight hours. To assist in development, McDonnell Douglas modified the second TF-15A prototype, AF serial number 71-0291, as a demonstrator. The aircraft, known as the Advanced Fighter Capability Demonstrator, first flew on 8 July 1980. In March 1981, the USAF announced the Enhanced Tactical Fighter program to procure a replacement for the F-111, eventually selecting the F-15E. The first production F-15E was delivered to the USAF in April 1988 with a total of 236 aircraft completed through 2001. Includes maintenance truck, pilot ladder and three figures. Please note: An optional display stand. Is available separately if you wish to display this model “in-flight”. Designed to meet US Air Force requirements for an air superiority fighter to replace the F-4 Phantom, the F-15 Eagle first flew on July 27, 1972. Following reviews of proposals, the United States Air Force selected McDonnell Douglas’s design in 1969 to meet the service’s need for a dedicated air superiority fighter. Since entering service in 1976, it is among the most successful modern fighters, with over 100 victories and no losses in aerial combat, with the majority of the kills by the Israeli Air Force. JC’s 1:72 scale F-15s feature an impressive amount of pad-printed markings including some elaborate paint schemes and numerous warning placards found adorning the entire airframe. They are highly detailed with a delicate thin cambered wing, simulated stainless-steel heat shielding surrounding the engine exhausts, movable razor thin all metal elevators and rudders. The underside of the aircraft features metal landing gear with a full complement of beautifully pad printed ordnance. Showing remarkable attention to detail, actuators extend and retract with the hinged canopy and speed brake and compressor fans will even spin if air is blown into the engine intakes! JC Wings 1:72 Military Series. The JC Wings “1:72 Military” range presents detailed, ready-made diecast models of military aircraft in 1:72 scale. JC Wings 1:72 Military diecast airplanes feature. Diecast metal construction with some plastic components. Realistic panel lines, antennas, access panels and surface details. Pad printed markings and placards that won’t fade or peel like decals. Interchangeable extended/retracted landing gear with rotating wheels. Authentic detachable ordnance loads complete with placards.

Usaf F-16 Prototype Ground Decoy From The Us Air Force Museum
We can lift onto your trucker’s commercial flatbed 18 wheeler or any car hauler can move it. Own a real piece of Cold War history. Poor man’s warbird. With original factory military container included. Tail# 2 so 2nd one built and only one in the world to survive this long. Built by Durodyne in Tucson Arizona Circa 1988. Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton Ohio. The home of the US Air Force Museum. This is the only one in civilian hands that we know of. Out of only around 36 built, this is the last example in the world to survive. A spectacular relic of the US Air Force COLD WAR, C. Plan, Camouflage, Concealment and Deception. 1 Make the enemy think we have more F-16’s than we really do. 2 Make the enemy think we have F-16’s where we really don’t. 3 Get the enemy to waste his expensive ordinance on an inexpensive decoy and save a 30 million dollar F-16. The decoy is full size around 31′ wing tip to wing tip x 41′ nose to tail x 17′ tall to the top of the vertical stabilizer. Completely collapsible and fits in the OD green clam shell box at only 8′ wide x 15′ long x 2′ deep at a total combined weight of only 3,000 lbs. Once assembled it is towable with a common military style pintle hook. 1:1 ratio scale of an actual USAF F-16 Fighting Falcon / Viper. Made of aluminum bulkheads and 4″ x 4″ square aluminum tubing that telescopes in and out on itself like a portable radio antenna. Once assembled you skin the aluminum skeleton frame in canvas. Looks like a box kite from the ground but from the air it has perfect fidelity. When the decoy was parked next to a real F-16 and attacked by USAF fighter pilots in F-4 F Phantoms during testing, our pilots chose the decoy as their target while using gun cameras, 50% of the time. Our own pilots can not tell the difference. I bought it at action, as scrap, in 1996 from the DRMO, Defense Reutilization and Marketing Office in Columbus, OH. This was way before 911. Items could leave base relatively intact. It was demilitarized by throwing away the instructions and about five parts. You are welcome to join us setting it up at the Cleveland, OH National Airshow to learn how to set it up.

This item is in the category “eBay Motors\Parts & Accessories\Aviation Parts & Accessories\Parts”. The seller is “museum3″ and is located in Wickliffe, Ohio.

RARE 1950s vintage USAF Pilot flight helmet Gentex DH5-3 Experimental Prototype
The DH-5 was developed by Gentex in the mid 1950s as a USAF version of the US Navy DH-5-3 to replace the P-4 variants. Its shell was constructed of a fiberglass cloth reinforced with epoxy resin and internal suspension system adjustable by external straps was used. The DH-5 incorporates the earphone so no internal cloth helmet was used, the oxygen mask was secured to fast snap bottoms on external leather tabs. The external visor was moved and secured by means of two lateral tracks system. The USAF chose the HGU-2/P so this helmet never reached the operational service. The item “RARE 1950s vintage USAF Pilot flight helmet Gentex DH5-3 Experimental Prototype” is in sale since Friday, May 22, 2020. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Militaria\1954-60\Original Period Items”. The seller is “jfieldz” and is located in Brooklyn, New York. This item can be shipped worldwide.
