AIRCRAFT BRIEF

The McDonnell Douglas F-15C Eagle is the definitive air superiority fighter of the Western world, entering service in 1979 as an upgraded version of the original F-15A. With a thrust-to-weight ratio exceeding 1:1, an APG-63 radar, and an unmatched combat record of over 100 kills with zero air-to-air losses, the Eagle set the standard for air dominance fighters. It remains in front-line service with the U.S. Air Force and several allied nations.
