[edit] Description

The F-15E is a fighter-bomber aircraft designed to replace the F-111F Aardvark as Medium Bomber. The plans for a ground attack Eagle was formed ever since testing began of the original F-15A. However, it was abandoned in 1975, primarily due to increasing costs. It was revived in 1982 when trials began with a F-15B. The production model first flew December 11, 1986, after it's only competition, the F-16XL was canceled. The F-15's cockpit is state-of-the-art and the pilot has a wide angle Heads-Up Display as well as 3 Multi-Function Displays and the Weapons Systems Operator has 4 MFD's. The only advantage between the Strike Eagle (which was also known as the Beagle and the Mud Hen)and the Aardvark it replaced, is that it acquired air-to-ground capability, while retaining the F-15C's outstanding air-to-air capability. The disadvantage, which was criticized in it's early life, was the fact that the F-15E didn't have the internal range (2,994 miles in the F-111 to 2,100 miles in the F-15E) nor the weapons payload capability (31,302 lbs to 24,471 lbs) as the Aardvark. However, despite these shortcomings, the F-15E is one of the most powerful craft in the U.S. arsenal. Strike Eagles were used in other countries, including Israel (F-15I Ra'am), South Korea (F-15K Slam Eagle), Saudi Arabia (F-15S),and Singapore(F-15SG or F-15T).
