Boeing F-15E Strike Eagle, USAF, 4th TFW, 336th TFS "Rocketeers", Dragon Wings 1:72 Diecast Model

The 4th Fighter Wing is one of two on-call rapid response aerospace expeditionary wings in the U.S. Air Force and is the host unit at Seymour Johnson AFB, North Carolina, a major Air Combat Command base. The wing is composed of 2 operational groups, the 4th Operational Group, flying the multi-role, all-weather F-15E Strike Eagle aircraft which are assigned to two operational and two training fighter squadrons; and the 23rd Fighter Group, based at Pop AFB, NC, which flies A-10s. This combination of 2 Operational Groups within an Air Force Wing is a rarity in Air Force organization.
On 1 October 1989, the 336th Tactical Fighter Squadron (336th TFS) achieved IOC and became the first operational F-15E squadron in the wing and in the Air Force.
When Iraqi troops invaded Kuwait in August 1990, the 4th responded with the deployment of the 336th TFS on Aug. 9. During Operation Desert Storm, the 336th flew 1,088 combat missions. The unit dropped more than six-million pounds of bombs on Scud missile sites, bridges and airfields. Most of the missions were flown at night
In May 2000, aircraft and members of the 336th (Rocketeers) joined other ONW forces in actively patrolling the Iraqi northern no-fly zone. The Rocketeers flew more than 60 combat sorties and dropped more than 69,000 pounds of ordnance.
