F-15 Eagle: Undefeated Tactical Fighter
The F-15C Eagle, with its other versions such as the F-15E Strike Eagle and F-15S Silent Eagle (which is a newer version of the F-15 revised by Boeing to increase its stealth characteristics) is today one of the most powerful aircrafts currently in active service in the U.S. Military. It was started to be developed in 1969, successfully completed its first flight in 1972, and was put into mass production in 1973. Just three years later, in 1976, the first versions of F-15, which were the single seated F-15A and the dual-seated F-15B (which was mainly used for training) were put into service. The F-15 was designed as an air superiority aircraft, and turned out to be much more capable than one. There have been a total of 1198 units of F-15s built up to this day, most of which were mainly F-15As, F-15Cs and F-15Es. Today, about over 400 F-15s are still in use in the USAF. While 177 of these are F-15C (single-seat) and F-15D (dual-seat) versions, 224 of them are F-15E Strike Eagles, which are more recent and employ more advanced technology.
