F-15C from Barnes ANGB in Westfield to be displayed at New England Air Museum

WESTFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – A F-15C aircraft from Barnes Air National Guard in Westfield will be added to the New England Air Museum collection.

According to a news release from New England Air Museum , the legendary F-15C Eagle, tail number 85-0101, is set to join the museum’s esteemed collection of historic aircraft this summer. It will be unveiled in the military hangar during an event announced on the museum’s social media.

The final flight will take place Monday morning into Bradley International Airport.

This model aircraft was introduced in 1976 and has two Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-220 engines. They participated in Operation Desert Storm in 1991 and maintain an undefeated combat record of 104-0, underscoring its formidable capabilities in aerial combat.

“The arrival of the F-15C Eagle is not just an addition to our collection—it’s a testament to the ingenuity and strength of U.S. aviation technology and a tribute to the brave individuals who have flown these skies” said President and CEO Stephanie Abrams. “We are excited to offer our visitors a close-up look at this remarkable piece of military history.”

The 104th Fighter Wing at Barnes ANGB has 21 assigned F-15C Eagle Aircraft that provide 24/7 aerospace security across the northeastern United States. An environmental evaluation is being conducted on the impact of replacing the aging F-15C and D-model aircraft with either the F-15EX or F-35A aircraft.
