At the height of the Cold War the Russian Tupolev Tu-95 Bear long-range bombers roamed the world's skies. On constant alert, the interceptors of the First Air Force were tasked with the air defence of the continental United States.
Depicted in a magnificent cloudscape, a pair of F-15A Eagles of 125th Fighter Wing based at Jacksonville lAP, Florida, intercept a Russian Tupolev Tu-95 Bear en route non-stop from Moscow to Havana, Cuba. High over the Atlantic, the F-15 pilots give the Russian crew a reminder of what to expect if push comes to shove.
F-15 Eagles proved their superiority whenever put to the test, recording a 60:1 kill ratio against Syrian-flown Soviet built fighters over the Lebanon, and again during the Gulf War claiming 33 Iraqi aircraft destroyed.
Each print in Philip West’s Limited Edition, Eagle Intercept is signed by the artist.
