    Kadena-Based F-15C/Ds Start Retiring; F-15EX Likely Replacement
    Oct. 31, 2022 | By John A. Tirpak
    Starting Nov. 1 and continuing over the next two years, the Air Force will bring home the 48 F-15C/D Eagles now stationed at Kadena Air Base, Japan. A permanent replacement has yet to be determined, but in the meantime, other types of fighters will cycle through deployments to the base, to preserve its battle readiness as the “tip of the spear” in the Indo-Pacific.

    Truth in advertising.

    Would be funnier if the hinges were not showing, but they are, meaning that it opens "up."

    Trap doors open "down."

    Obviously this P-47 had a “close” brush with a chimney at a factory in Germany that was being bombed. It survived the incident and was on the way back to it’s base in England when it was pounced on by a flight of Spitfires who didn’t recognize the silhouette. The P-47 escaped the attack and made it back to safety in England.
