F-15Eagle, Strike EagleWiki: The McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) F-15 Eagle is a twin-engine, all-weather tactical fighter designed to gain and maintain air superiority in aerial combat. It first flew in July 1972, and is one of the most recognized modern fighters. Despite originally being envisaged as a pure air superiority aircraft, the design proved flexible enough that an all-weather strike derivative, the F-15E Strike Eagle, was later developed. Israeli Air Force has operated F-15s since 1977. These aircraft are currently organized into three squadrons. The first 25 F-15A/Bs were early USAF production airframes. The second batch was temporarily embargoed as a result of the 1982 Lebanon War. The IAF have 42 F-15A/C and 25 F-15I aircraft in service.Go To Gallery
