About the 4th Fighter Wing:
The 4th Fighter Wing is one of two on-call rapid response aerospace expeditionary wings in the U.S. Air Force and is the host unit at Seymour Johnson AFB, North Carolina, a major Air Combat Command base. The wing is composed of 2 operational groups, the 4th Operational Group, flying the multi-role, all-weather F-15E Strike Eagle aircraft which are assigned to two operational and two training fighter squadrons

About the F-15E Strike Eagle:
The Boeing (formerly McDonnell Douglas) F-15 Eagle is an American-built, all-weather, extremely maneuverable, tactical fighter designed to gain and maintain air superiority in aerial combat. It entered service in July of 1972.

A derivative of the aircraft is the F-15E Strike Eagle, a highly successful all-weather strike fighter which entered service in 1988.

The F-15C/D model is being replaced by the F/A-22 Raptor. The fate of the F-15E is yet unknown but as the airframes are relatively recent, will likely remain in the U.S. inventory for some years to come.
