Eagle Demo
Master Sgt. Peter Williams, F-15 West Coast Demo Team’s Lead Production Superintendent, videotapes Capt. Sam Joplin’s F-15 practice demonstration at Eglin AFB Fla., Sept. 15. Every practice and performance is recorded and then critiqued by the team for timing and maneuver improvements. The F-15 West Coast Demo Team is assigned to the 33d Fighter Wing and performs 33 shows per year. The F-15 West Coast Demo Team is one of six single aircraft demonstration teams assigned to Air Combat Command. The F-15 West Team originated from Holloman AFB, N.M., then moved to Tyndall AFB, Fla., and finally settled at Eglin in the early 1990's. The name "West Coast" has been retained for heritage purposes. (U.S. Air Force Photo/Capt. Carrie Kessler)
