The McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) F-15 Eagle is an American twin-engine, all-weather tactical fighter designed by McDonnell Douglas to gain and maintain air superiority in aerial combat. It is among the most successful modern fighters, with over 100 aerial combat victories. Following reviews of proposals, the United States Air Force selected McDonnell Douglas' design in 1967 to meet the service's need for a dedicated air superiority fighter. The Eagle first flew in July 1972, and entered service in 1976. The Eagle has since been exported to Israel, Japan, and Saudi Arabia, among other nations. The F-15 was originally envisioned as a pure air superiority aircraft. Its design included a secondary ground-attack capability that was largely unused. The design proved flexible enough that an all-weather strike derivative, the F-15E Strike Eagle, was later developed, entering service in 1989. The F-15 Eagle is expected to be in service with the U.S. Air Force past 2025. Newer models are still being produced for foreign users. The F-15 production line is set to end in 2019, 47 years after the type's first flight.

  1. Unique Strike Eagle 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 23rd Apr 2023

    I have been wanting a strike eagle for a while now. At first I wasn't sure if I liked the tiger scheme, but after purchasing it and seeing it in person, it looks awesome. I am impressed with the detailing and the fit of the various parts including the canopy and the conformal fuel tanks. The only parts lacking better detail are the exhaust nozzles. With the "turkey feathers" removed, they need a little bit more attention to accurate detail, but it still looks good and better than in the pictures. The tiger profile on either side of the canopy looks really good. They tried to give it the chalky flat pastelle look like the pictures of the real aircraft. For an extra authentic touch, you can paint the pilots' helmets orange to match the color on the speed brake. Great looking warplane. I wish I could have seen the real thing in person.
