Former Boeing.... I spent time at our St Louis plant where both F-15's and F/A-18's are built. Good to see mods on the F-15. Canted vertical stabilizers like those on F-18 really help improve stealth. Not mentioned but obvious to the trained eye, inlet ducts on F-15 mod to hide front turbine blades. Old design presented enemy radar with 2 highly reflective front compressor turbine blades. F-18 was designed that way from the start. Also, internal weapons bays really help. F-18 was quite stealthy until fuel tanks and weapons loaded on the external hard points.

North Vietnam - Military fighter aircraft in that war were designed to be able to take just one hit in the hydraulic system and still be able to fly the aircraft (but not necessarily land it) which caused many pilots to bail out over enemy territory if more than one hydraulic system hit was taken, e.g Navy pilot John McCain ejection. As a result, the USAF required that the design of the F-15 be able to take two hits anywhere in the hydraulic system and still be able fly the aircraft (again not necessarily land). This requirement caused MCAIR to come up with many hydraulic system innovations that have been used ever since.

I'm lucky enough to live in one of the training areas near Fairchild AFB. At least 4 days a week there are fighter jets practicing at low altitude. I have actually had them pass so low that I could see the pilots face when I've been up on Ridgelines. It's like getting a free airshow everyday.

I remember a mockup of an F-15 in a mall parking lot in my home town when it was first being deployed. My little brother and I got to look inside the canopy while standing on a large steel scaffold and staircase. I believe it was around 1978 or 1979.

Boeing offered the Silent Eagle for Korean marketing, but it lost to the F-35. In fact, it was questionable whether it was even a stealth aircraft. If the conformal fuel tank is removed, the cruising range is fatally reduced, making it much worse than the F-15E. The inclination angle of the weapon bay and vertical tail fins required a lot of development costs. It is a good thing that Korea chose the F-35.

At the same time it will be detect on radar from a long range of around 90 to 80 miles at the first place. And it was not a stealth aircraft at all, but rather it was an standard aircraft by putting RAM coating and modern cockpit display on it, which remains me of an old rust bucket car with new engine and digital custom colors on it.

The F-15 is absolutely not designed for stealth. Its design is one that says, "Yeah, you see me coming. What do you think you're going to do about it? Oh yeah, that's right: Pee yourself and die."

You also have to remember the F14 & F15 both came out at about the same time..... Hughes Aircraft Company (HAC) designed and built the avionics systems and weapons systems, where I met my wife. She worked in admin/management at HAC Radar Systems Group who built the radar's for the F14, F15, F16, F/A18, F18, B1, B2 aircraft. The AMRAAM was developed in the mid 1980's... in essence, the next generation AIM 54 Phoenix.

I really like the idea of upgrading the F15 platform, to bad Boeing choose to increase the price so much. I would have hoped we could have replaced a lot of D's and E's with this upgrade, even ideally using the existing aircraft. The US sends a lot of aircraft into third-world countries on various missions and being able to use something that does not reveal all the tricks of the new aircraft if one is crashed or otherwise compromised would keep down our prices. Maybe we should look into buying that Korean jet to replace our C's and D's. I would guess that Korea would turn around buy more US equipment almost immediately with the profits. One has to remember that these jets are so expensive that they are major inputs into defense budgets.

I love the idea of this aircraft - and although the observability (or lack thereof) comes nowhere near a 22 or a 35, the sheer volume of ordinance these aircraft can handle is a major asset IMO. Use low observability aircraft in conjunction with electronic warfare to suppress enemy air defences, and let the weapons platforms do the damage.

The problem is the Eagle can actually carry just 1500lbs more than the F-35. Obviously we both know that F-35 loses basically all the stealth in that configuration. But so would the F-15. And in our doctrine we already use F-35 + F-15 groups, where F-35 works as an AWACS/C&C, and F-15 is a "bomb/missile truck". So adding stealth to F-15 would change basically nothing in this doctrine. Plus a single unit upgrade would cost 2x the cost of an F-35. The idea was interesting, but the F-22/35 made it obsolete, it's just a whole ton less capability for the same money. But it looks cool af, don't get me wrong.

the thing is that if you have F-22/F-35/B-2/B-21 perform SEAD you don't need a semi-stealthy airframe to do the bomb truck missions afterwards. A regular F-15E will be able to do just fine in uncontested airspace

Cant help but notice how the thumbnail image is from Ace Combat Infinity

50yrs and it still looks great.

the whole intro segment sounded like an F-15 rap

The newest flight controls for the f15 fly by wire system with the structural upgrades that strengthen both the airframe and wings have the F15 doing maneuvers that were only thought possible from aircraft with thrust vectoring.

F15EX is so cool 😎

Right now, the F-14 Tomcat is crying. “Why didn't you give me the same upgrade with the Super Tomcat design?" 😭

It's been nearly 5 decades and the F-15 remains the best jet aircraft used in action, despite being obsolete.

F-22 barrel rolled with laughter over that last ambitious comment.

Radar tech is evolving and what is hard to see now becomes much more visible down the road. When radars get to the point where all these stealth planes are visible, the raw power of the F-15 will once again be important. I leave my money on the F-15 and let it ride.

I love the F-15 and I did want to see the the SE fly but deep down I knew it was a really lazy idea. Boeing was trying to pull the classic corner cutting move of take an old plane (that they didn't design) and trying to jam it into the new problem while selling the solution as safe and inexpensive. It's this culture that resulted in the super hornet, the super-duper eagle, the immortal shitty B-52, and the 737 max.

For those who are wondering why the thumbnail looks slightly different, it’s actually a screenshot from Ace Combat Infinity. Yes, the F-15SE was playable in the game. No, you can’t play it anymore as the servers were shut down :(

Interesting story. The original F15 design was "Not a Pound for Air to Ground". It was a dedicated fighter platform. Period. But the Israeli's had a need for both a fighter and long range bomber. They converted some of their F15 Baz platforms into a bomb truck configuration when they needed to attack the PLO HQ in Hammam al-Shatt, Tunisia. Once MD understood that not only could they have a state of the art first rate fighter but a bomber also? they submitted their F15E design to go up against the F16 XL and won the competition.
