    A U.S. Air Force F-15 Eagle fighter jet is captured during a nighttime or dusk takeoff with afterburners fully engaged, producing a visible orange flame plume from the engines. The aircraft bears the tail code 'LN' indicating assignment to Lakenheath (RAF Lakenheath, UK), with a partial serial number visible as A913. The landing gear is still partially retracted as the aircraft climbs steeply off the wet runway.

    A U.S. Air Force F-15C Eagle assigned to the 493rd Expeditionary Fighter Squadron responds to an alert scramble notification at Siauliai Air Base, Lithuania, Sept. 4, 2017. The F-15C is uniquely suited for the Baltic Air Policing mission with its capability to detect, acquire, track and intercept opposing aircraft while operating in friendly or rival-controlled airspace at distances beyond visual range down to close range, and at altitudes down to treetop level.
