Streakeagle Anyone?

Paco has modded his F-15C into the F-15A, I thought I'd do something different for the A:

The single-seat F15A, nicknamed "StreakEagle" broke eight time-to-climb world records between Jan. 16 and Feb. 1, 1975. In setting the last of the eight records, it reached an altitude of 98,425 ft. just 3 minutes 27.8 seconds from brake release at takeoff and "coasted to nearly 103,000 ft. before descending. It was flown in its natural metal finish to reduce weight for the record-setting flights.

 

Excellent work as usual by Paco!

 

Cheers
