Although the first F-15 Eagle flew in 1972, it remains among the highest speed, fastest accelerating, most maneuverable aircraft in the world today. It can perform missions day and night, and in virtually all weather conditions.

The F-15 Eagle can perform both as a fighter and bomber. It has the range, performance, and avionics to achieve penetration of enemy systems and overcome threats from the ground or air.

A high power to weight ratio and a computerized engine control system enable the F-15 Eagle to achieve a long range, excellent acceleration, plus a high top speed. The aircraft also has a relatively low wing loading, enabling excellent maneuverability and slow speed performance.

The twin seat version of the F-15 Eagle has enhanced all-weather and deep interdiction mission capabilities. Avionics include four display screens that include radar, electronic warfare, infrared sensing, all around ground to air threat assessment, target selection, and a moving navigation map.

The F-15 Eagle model E "Strike Eagle" is crewed by the pilot and a WSO in the back seat. It can carry some 24,000 lbs. of ordnance. It is capable of all-weather, day/night operations and can function equally well as a fighter and a bomber. Its missions may include strategic strike and interdiction.
