[edit] F-15C
This image is a interesting photo of a F-15C firing a missle (AIM-7 Sparrow medium-range air to air missile). I cropped the image from Image:USAF F-15C fires AIM-7 Sparrow.jpg. The former image was in the article, F-15 Eagle. This image is in the public domain because it contains materials that originally came from the United States Air Force (www.af.mil/photos).

- Comment I have replaced the older image on F-15 Eagle with this version since the older version had an excessive amount of useless sky space. Pegasus1138Talk | Contribs | Email ---- 04:39, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- Support nice Image and I think it's better than the vertical image that was mentioned above. Pegasus1138Talk | Contribs | Email ---- 04:39, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- Support Slightly unsharp at full res, but hey - you don't get to shoot a pic like this every day... --Janke | Talk 06:58, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- Support great pic, ack Janke. --vineeth 07:12, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- Support. V. nice + informative. |→ Spaully°τ 11:10, 5 March 2006
- Support. Even though there was a similar picture, I just think that this is an awesome picture. --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 11:39, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- Support With the pilot visible, you really get a good idea of how big both the plane and missile are.--Lewk_of_Serthic contrib talk 04:00, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- Support although not quite as sharp as it should be Calderwood 12:01, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- Neutral I think the already existing FP is better and less typical. Looks like a US Air Force recruiting brochure, and I'm not sure that's desirable for one, let alone two, featured images. But perhaps I'm just being crotchety. –Joke 17:55, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- Comment For the record, the current FP f-15 eagle is firing flares, not missiles. TomStar81 23:20, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose There are plenty of good USAF pictures of planes and hardware. Appart from the missile, this one doesn't have anything special about it. -- Solipsist 09:36, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Second andthird images.Bothquite nice! Staxringold 19:46, 8 March 2006 (UTC)- The 2nd image is already a Featured Picture..... — 0918BRIAN • 2006-03-11 20:04
- Then no wonder I supported it! :D Staxringold 15:13, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

- Weak Support It is definitely not as striking as the current FA picture, but it is still very very good, and it is informative in a different way because it is firing a missile, not flairs. I was neutral until I really thought about what it is showing about the size of the image to the pilot - that tipped me into the support camp. Also, I did a Google image search, expecting to find lots of PD photos of F15C firing Aim 7's but I found fewer than I would have expected, and none better than these we are looking at.

- Oppose all (strong oppose for the edit), the edit takes too many liberties with the original content. BrokenSegue 02:40, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
