The A and B model F-15s were replaced by the F-15C/D in production from 1980, and have been slowly phased out of service since, most be mothballed at the Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMARG) at Davis Monthan AFB in Arizona where rows upon rows of the aircraft can be seen sitting in the desert sun.
