NASA had asked for replacements for their aging
1976 F-15B and what they got were three 1978 and
1979 F-15Ds, they had been hoping for newer than that. F-15D 79-0007 c/n
0577/D018 was delivered to
the USAF August 25, 1980 before arriving at the Dryden Flight Research Center
on September
11, 2010 and given the civil registration of N897NA.
All three replacements
were former 325th FW aircraft
based at Tyndall AFB, Florida. The F-15Ds had all their military equipment removed and were tasked with
flight research and mission support.
