F-15: 104 and Counting

Born and raised as a McDonnell Douglas jet in the early 1970s, the F-15 Eagle remains the world's greatest post-war fighter with a kill tally of 104 for no losses.

In the late 1970s, a US Air Force requirement for a tactical strike aircraft resulted in the F-15E Strike Eagle. Designed as a multi-role aircraft, like its F-15 Eagle sister ship, the F-15E is also proven in combat, and remains the US Air Force's tactical strike aircraft of choice, one with a lethal air-to-air capability.
