334 FS Fighting Eagles
The 334 FS was the last squadron I served in prior to retirement from active duty. They have a long history dating back to the RAF 71st Eagle Squadron flying Hurricanes to the current F-15E Strike Eagles. They are part of the 4th Fighter Wing located at Seymour Johnson AFB, Goldsboro, NC.
