The F‑15C Eagle 85‑0111, operated by the 11th Air Force out of Elmendorf AFB, Alaska, is a quintessential defender of North American airspace with a legacy that speaks volumes. Based in one of the most strategically vital regions—just 44 miles from the Russian Far East—85‑0111 stood on 24/7 alert as part of Elmendorf’s robust interceptor force within the 3rd Wing under the Alaskan NORAD mission. What truly sets this aircraft apart is not just its adaptability to extreme Arctic conditions, but its enduring role as part of a two‑squadron F‑15C fleet that sustained continuous air defense readiness in one of the world’s most challenging environments. Its ability to respond to potential incursions, combined with F‑15C-specific features like optional conformal fuel tanks for extended patrols, made 85‑0111 a uniquely capable sentinel unmatched by conventional fighters in temperate theaters
