The F-15 West
Coast Demo Team is just one of the six single aircraft Demonstration
Teams assigned to Air Combat Command (ACC). The Team is comprised of
one Demo Pilot, nine Maintenance personnel, and four Flight Safety
Officers.
The Aircraft
themselves are not assigned to the team, but are actual operational
fighters from the 33rd Fighter Wing at Eglin Air Force Base,
Florida. The F-15 West Team originated from Holloman AFB, New
Mexico, and was moved to Tyndall AFB, Florida, before settling here
in the late 1990's. We have retained the name "West Coast" as it
is our heritage.
The U.S. Air
Force’s Air Combat Command Single-Ship Demonstration Teams perform
precision aerial maneuvers, demonstrating to the public the unique
capabilities of the Air Force’s high performance aircraft. ACC
Single-Ship Demonstration Team members also exhibit the professional
qualities the Air Force develops in the people who fly, maintain and
support these aircraft.
