The 2002 Marathon
The 2002 USAF Marathon was held on Saturday, September 21. To commemorate our rich history in flight, each year one aircraft is chosen to be highlighted during the marathon and on the unique finisher's medal presented to each race participant. In 2002, the USAF Marathon featured the F-15E Strike Eagle dual-role (air-to-air and air-to-ground combat) long-range fighter plane. The "E" model is a variant of the F-15 Eagle, which carries solely air-to-air combat responsibility.
