F-15 Eagle
With 120 photographs
Built to counter the seemingly invincible Soviet MiG-25 Foxbaf, the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle has proven to be more than a match for any "red" fighter interceptorfor over 15 years. Carrying the all-seeing Hughes AN/APG-63 radar inside its massive radome, the interception capabilities of the Eagle have been matched only by its US Navy rival, the F-14 Tomcat.
Although a large airplane, the Eagle is incredibly agile, with plenty of power from its twin afterburning Pratt and Whitney F-1 GO turbofans. These allow a pilot to exploit the F-15 Eagle's superb in-flight characteristics to the fullest extent.
Entering frontline squadron service with the USAF's Tactical Air Command in late 1974, the F-15 has gone on to equip no less than six tactical fighter wings based in the USA, and one apiece in Germany and Japan.
