Remembered "Air Force One" last night.
During the 1999 [[NATO]] bombing campaign of [[Yugoslavia]] ([[Kosovo War|Operation Allied Force]]), F-15s from the 493rd Expeditionary Fighter Squadron shot down four Mig-29s, all with AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles.<ref>[http://www.keokidahl.com/Keoki_Dahl_Aviation/In_Combat.html F-15 in Combat]</ref><ref>[http://www.afa.org/magazine/Sept2004/0904aces.asp Air Force Magazine]</ref>

==F-15 in Fiction==
While not having as prominent a Hollywood career as its Navy counterpart, the [[F-14 Tomcat]], the Eagle has made appearances in film and television. A flight of F-15s flew to President Harrison Ford's rescue in the movie ''[[Air Force One(film)|Air Force One]]'', and two F-15s had a brief<ref>and, in the author's opinion, rather unflattering</ref> scene at the end of the [[CBS]] series ''Jericho''.
