Boeing's New F-15X: A Strike Eagle on Steroids? Here Is What We Know.

It is the best air to air fighter that has ever seen combat. Not many aircraft can claim a perfect record in air to air engagements. While it isn't stealth not every adversary has the capability to shoot down non stealth aircraft. Furthermore ask the Syrian government how their air defense system has held up against the Israelis using F-15s.

My first opportunity to "climb over" the F-15 was at NAS Pt Mugu in 1974. It was a great airplane then, and it's a great airplane today - several iterations later.
