The 5th FIS “Spittin Kittens” was the last unit 59-0130 was assigned. The “Spittin Kittens” got their name from the 2 lynx cub mascots they adopted. In 1985 the F-15 began replacing the F-106s and this aircraft was sent to storage and then converted to a drone and survived. Next it was used by NASA before being sent to AMARC in 1998.

The solid metal wing is masterfully recreated with downturned leading edges and two removable streamlined supersonic fuel tanks.
