Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-19, American users

The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-19 was a Soviet second-generation single-seat twin-engined supersonic fighter. As it was world's first mass produced supersonic aircraft, capable of supersonic speeds in level flight, it was exported and sold to many countries around the globe. Among them, the following ones:

• Cuba: When the Cuban Fuerza Aérea Revolucionaria (FAR) consolidated, some of their units were still equipped with the outdated MiG-15bis. In order to update their aircraft, they received a batch of 8 MiG-19P in November 1961, making the FAR the first Latin-American Air Force equipped with supersonic fighters. Most of them were based in San Antonio Air Base, in Artemisa province and served for a rather brief period of time, as they were retired in 1966 after being replaced by the MiG-21PFM. The MiG-19s were put into a reserve status and most of them were scrapped, as it proved a very complicated machine to maintain.
  It seems that the only variant of the MiG-19 used by the FAR was the "P" one. However, there are some reports (reported as either wrong or even false) that suggest that they also had the S and the PM variants serving in their rows.
  Anyway, at most, 12 MiG-19P served with the FAR from November 1961 until 1966. They were used to patrol Cuban aerospace during the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962.
  As we like to draw even hypothetical aircraft, we decided to include those variants as well.
• United States of America: Even if there isn't official evidence of the MiG-19 flying in American colours, during the 1980s a MiG-19S built in Novosibirsk, was displayed at the Wright-Patterson Air Base in Dayton, Ohio as part of a display of the US Air Force Museum. Oddly enough, it was painted in People's Liberation Army Air Force's colours and insignia.

McDonnell Douglas F-15A Eagle, USAF Users part two

The F-15A was the first production version of the F-15 Eagle that was mainly focused on air-to-air combat, hence the armament, that consisted on 4xAIM-7F Sparrow plus 4xAIM-9E/L Sidewinder missiles and additional three external fuel tanks that could carry each of them up to 610 US gallons.
Some F-15As were modified in order to conduct anti-satellite trials equipped with the ASM-135 ASAT missiles on the centreline of the aircraft. As the trials destroyed a satellite they were a success and the programme officially ended in 1988.
The squadrons covered in this post are:

• 2nd Tactical Fighter Training Squadron: This squadron based in Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida, transitioned from the F-106 Delta Dart to the F-15 in May 1984. They continued to training pilots for operations worldwide with the F-15A until it was deactivated in September 2010.
• 4485th Test Squadron: This squadron received their F-15A in Eglin Air Force Base, Florida in 1972 and kept them until 1988 when they were replaced by the more advanced strike version, the F-15E Strike Eagle.
• 199th Fighter Interceptor Squadron: This squadron that belongs to the Hawaii Air National Guard, switched their F-4C Phantoms II for the F-15A in 1987. They were used, together with the more advanced F-15C until 2009 when they were replaced by the F-22A Raptor. 
• 128th Tactical Fighter Squadron: In 1986 this squadron retired the F-4Phantoms and replaced them with the F-15A. They were kept in active service for ten years, until, in 1996, the squadron was reformed and switched them for the B-1B Lancer Bomber.
