Huh?

F15s have been shot down, just not by another jet.

It’s Air to Air combat record is 104–0.

quote:

As of 8 January 2014, 123 USAF F-15 aircraft had been destroyed in mishaps, with 52 fatalities. This was a lifetime average of 2.93 aircraft destroyed per year, or 1.99 aircraft destroyed per 100,000 flight hours

One of the most successful combat platforms in history. Expensive, but undeniably successful as well as surprisingly versatile and enduring.

And 50 years ahead of the rest of the world. Russia and China are just now getting around to fielding planes and missles that can threaten the Eagle, supposedly. That might not even be true, since none of their stuff is proven in A2A like the F15 is.

So much radar. So much power. Here bad guys, hold these AMRAAMs for me.

During it’s time, wasn’t it the only fighter that could accelerate vertically? Or am I misremembering?

Hell yeah!!

And it can still fly with part of its wing gone.

F-15s and other semi automatic assault weapons should be outlawed

Conformals don’t make the plane, but they do allow it to kill longer and farther away :)
