The static F-15 Eagle on display outside the Main Gate at Arnold Air Force Base, Tenn., is dedicated to Maj. Jim Duricy. He died April 30, 2002, when he was forced to eject at a high speed as the F-15C he piloted crashed into the Gulf of Mexico. His body was never found. He was on a captive flight development test of a new missile when the aircraft crashed. The F-15 dedicated in Duricy’s honor has been on display at Arnold since 2003. It was assigned to the 46th Test Wing, the same wing Duricy flew with at the time of his death. The 46th was part of the now-inactive Air Force Air Armament Center at Eglin AFB.
