Totality on the ground for that eclipse lasted about 2 minutes. At the F-15’s top speed (~1800mph) it could have stayed in the shadow for about 15-20 minutes on an optimal trajectory.

In a breathtaking display of aviation prowess and celestial wonder, a group of F-15 fighter jets took to the skies during a solar eclipse to chase the Moon's umbra, the darkest part of its shadow.

@Habubrats71, have you heard of a corresponding SR71 tale? I would imagine a SR71 might be able to stay in the shadow for a long while (as fuel allowed).

You can be in the shadow for 3 minutes standing still, I’m sure flying supersonic you could stretch it out to about an hour.
