Описание: MOUNTAIN HOME AIR FORCE BASE, Idaho – An McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) F-15E-49-MC Strike Eagle (sn 90-0239) rushes to assist Santa Claus, and serve as his wingman as he delivers presents around the world. Flying a ‘sleigh’ powered by two Pratt and Whitney engines and capable of flying at speeds in excess of 1,800 mph, Maj. Kristin Wehle, 366th Fighter Wing F-15E pilot, believes she and other Air Combat Command pilots could be Santa’s perfect wingman, she said.
