The 173rd Fighter Wing is currently the only American F-15C formal training unit (FTU) and produces every new airman in the US Eagle community. YOU CAN'T MAKE a mistake in the cockpit of the F-15C Eagle. That's not a criticism of the aircraft. It's a philosophy steeped in the hearts of those who've been there, the ones who fly and fight and detect little humor in the profession of aerial arms. 'Zero tolerance' for error is the mantra among these instructors, nearly all combat veterans, who train F-15C pilots and maintainers at Kingsley Field, Klamath Falls, Oregon. The Eagle, renowned for its comfortable cockpit, sensible instrument display and ease of handling, will forgive an error.
