Patches: ‘A Flying Memorial’ Part I

Members of a rebuild team stand in front of Patches, the F-15C Eagle involved in the 1993 accident at Kadena Air Base, Japan, for a photo. After the incident, the F-15C became a cannibal aircraft, meaning its parts were used to repair other aircraft in the fleet, and was thought to be headed to the boneyard before the rebuild.
