Landing for the last time at LAFB as USAF West Coast Demo Team based at Eglin AFB. The F-15 West Team originated from Holloman AFB, NM, and was moved to Tyndall AFB, FL, before settling at Eglin in the early 1990's. The name "West Coast" has been retained for heritage purposes. This flight marked the final time the F-15 West Coast Demonstration team would perform for the public. This demonstration team has been wowing audiences for the last 26 years. One of the "hush houses" that are used for engine testing is in the background.
