Rank 22 in the Aviation Heroes collection, this print honours the 142nd Fighter Wing of the Oregon Air National Guard — the first operational USAF unit to field the F-15EX Eagle II at Portland Air National Guard Base. Boeing delivered the initial combat-coded jets from St. Louis in 2024, beginning an eighteen-aircraft transition that retires decades of F-15C/D alert duty in the Pacific Northwest. The Eagle II brings digital fly-by-wire, APG-82 AESA radar, EPAWSS electronic warfare, and a glass cockpit to a platform that still carries unmatched payload and range — a fourth-generation airframe with fifth-generation sensors, now guarding CONUS airspace from Oregon.
