F-15 Eagle
he F-15 Eagle has represented the pinnacle of American air superiority since its introduction in the late 1970s after the Vietnam War. And with good reason. Equipped with multi-function displays, a highly detailed heads-up display, an innovative airframe, and robust engines that can propel it to speeds of up to 1,600 miles per hour, there are only a few aircraft in the world that can engage it and survive to tell the story. The F-15 Eagle gave way to several MiG variants throughout its career and has shown no signs of aging due to its excellent combat capabilities and handling. The hardy fighter has proven capable of continuing fighting despite enduring extensive damage, as it did in the 1980s when an Israeli F-15 managed to fly over 10 miles and land after losing its entire right wing during training maneuvers in the 1980s. No wonder it is regarded as the fighter jet par excellence, with an impressive kill-to-loss record that, to this day, is like nothing else out there…
