Selfridge Air Base to Receive New F-15EX Fighter Jets | JQJO

Selfridge Air National Guard Base in Michigan will receive 21 new F-15EX Eagle II fighter jets, replacing the retiring A-10s. President Trump announced the decision, highlighting bipartisan cooperation with Governor Whitmer. This move secures the base's future and boosts the Michigan economy, preventing anticipated job losses. The new aircraft are expected to arrive in 2028, following years of lobbying efforts by state and federal officials. This decision is a major win for Selfridge, Macomb County, and Michigan's aerospace industry.
