Description

Rosenthal, Incorporated made its first foray into the world of privatized high performance fixed wing aircraft with eight F-15E Strike Eagles acquired from its merger with Tactical Aviation Solutions, who had acquired them from the Osean Air Defense Force when it downsized its F-15E fleet in favor of FB-22s.

Rosenthal initially put their Strike Eagles to use in a purely instructive capacity, training the Estovakian Air Force in low-level strike techniques, in addition to working as aggressors for the Oseans. However, the Rosenthal F-15Es would be put to the real test in August 2015, when the Estovakians invaded Emmeria. The Rosenthal aircraft were incorporated into the Estovakian Air Force as the 8th Tactical Fighter Squadron, nicknamed the “Basilisks.”

Rosenthal’s F-15Es were part of Estovakia's leading blow, striking ships of the Emmerian First Fleet stranded in Gracemeria Harbor. Using AGM-84 Harpoons, the Rosenthal aircraft were able to sink all of the large surface combatants in the harbor, including the 1st Fleet’s flagship, the upgraded Vittorio class battleship Daffodil.
The aircraft depicted here, 98-0124, was the personal mount of Sarathi “Sharky” Sarkar and Samya “Shamu” Suara, who flew as Basilisk 2 during the war, and was eventually nicknamed “Lawnmower,” due to the floral theme of the Emmerian navy’s ships, which were the primary prey of the Basilisks. “Lawnmower” was lost on February 16, 2016 to a pair of Rafale Bs from the Emmerian 28th Fighter Squadron while covering the Estovakian withdrawal from San Loma. Sharky and Shamu ejected safely, and were rescued by Estovakian Navy CSAR assets.
“Lawnmower” is shown here as she was seen on the first day of the war, armed with 4 AGM-84D Harpoons, 2 AIM-9M Sidewinders, and 2 AIM-120C AMRAAMs. As she had not yet received her nickname, she does not yet have her nose art painted on. She is fitted with AN/AAQ-13 and AAQ-28 LITENING pods. The more advanced AN/AAQ-33 Sniper pods were still deemed restricted technology by the Osean government, and had not been approved for sale to Rosenthal or the Estovakians.
