An F-15 Eagle takes off Jan. 9 from Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii. The F-15s, from the 199th Fighter Squadron of the Hawaii Air National Guard, have not flown since Air Force officials grounded the F-15 fleet Nov. 3, 2007. Air Combat Command officials cleared a portion of its F-15 A through D models to begin flying Jan. 9.
