The F-15 has been around for a longggggg time, and it still can kick ass.
OP is not wrong. |

Nothing wrong at all with the airframe and with updated radarm, sensors and electronics the EX will serve well for a long time. 20000 hour rated air frame life is nothing to sneeze at.

Best for what purpose?
Everyone has their favorites. But best... That depends on the job that needs to be done. Heck the way the USAF is going these days they are planning on replacing everything with a modern day version of the Mig21. That should be more than enough to keep the peasants tending their turnips. |

The perfect combat record says a lot about the USAF, its pilots and the total war environment they create.
High speed and 2 turbines is nice and allows for the ability to get to a base if something goes wrong. Amazing we make jets that do not have 2 turbines and cost over $100 million each. Plus the F-22 looks like a duck.

The F-22 is probably the best fighter ever made.
The F-14 has the best kill ratio (thanks to and if you believe Iran) The F-15 is probably the best bang for the buck. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Would you believe me if I told you I’ve had strike eagles flying dca cap for an MQ-9? Not sure why that would be surprising. And the F-22 will rape any legacy fighter F-14/15/16/18, every day of the week, without breaking a sweat. But yeah, the F-15 has a storied combat history and is a great aircraft. |
