The last F-15D Eagle belonging to the 19th Fighter Squadron flew its last flight around Alaska, Sept. 21.

Lt. Col. Brian "Barley" Bald¬win was the pilot of the fini flight for the 19th FS F-15.

Baldwin flew with Senior Airman Michael Cowley, public affairs broadcaster, to capture video footage of the last flight.

"Bittersweet," is the word Baldwin used to describe his last F-15 flight as a part of the 19th FS in Alaska.

"It was an honor to fly but sad to see it leaving Alaska," Baldwin said.

The F-15D Eagle will fly out of Alaska for good, Friday.

The aircraft will be heading to Barnes Air National Guard Base, Mass., with pilots Lt. Col. Greg Miller, 19th FS commander, and Baldwin.

Baldwin will be staying with the 3rd Wing as part of the 3rd Operation Support Squadron until he leaves for Portland Air National Guard base, Oregon where he will continue to fly eagles.

Miller will be heading to Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii on October 4 to hand over the 19th FS to Lt. Col. Harvey Newton.

The 19th FS will move without personnel or equipment.
