Reviews

The F-15 Eagle was the US Air Force's first purpose-built dogfighter since the F-86 Sabre. First flown in 1972, the aircraft remains in front-line service with the US Air Force today as well as in Israel, Japan, and Saudi Arabia. When it was first introduced, it's radar featured the first look-down/shoot-down capability tracking multiple targets at the same time. The Eagle is armed with up-to-eight missiles - four AIM-7 Sparrow and four AIM-9 Sidewinders. In later years, the F-15 was modified with new launch rails and avionics to support a combination of AIM-9 Sidewinders and AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles in addition to the AIM-7 (still a total of eight missiles).
