History

The McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle first entered service during the 1970s following the United States Air Force’s requirement for a dedicated air superiority fighter. The improved F-15C variant introduced greater fuel capacity and enhanced avionics while retaining the aircraft’s outstanding speed, climb rate and manoeuvrability. During Operation Desert Storm, the F-15C established complete air superiority for Coalition forces, recording more aerial victories than any other fighter in the conflict. The aircraft continues to serve with the United States Air Force, Air National Guard and several allied air forces, maintaining an unmatched combat record in air-to-air engagements.
