The first F15, TF-15A 73-0108 was for an operational USAF unit. The said F15 was a replacement training unit for F15 operations during the first stage of the introduction of the Eagle into service. Winter of year 1974 to 1975, McDonnell altered the F-15A serial number 72-0119 to set the world time in order for him to climb records. The said project was called Streak Eagle. To rid of some weight for this project, all non-important systems were deleted including the flap, speed brake, armament, radar and fire control system.
The paint of the F15A was also ripped off, resulting in a bare metal aircraft. The F-15A was 1800 pound less than the others.
