History:
The McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle was introduced in the 1970s as the USAF’s premier air superiority fighter, designed to dominate the skies against any adversary. The F-15D is a two-seat version of the single-seat F-15C, used for both training and operational missions. While retaining the same performance as the single-seater, the second seat allows for instruction, evaluation, and mission flexibility. Like its counterparts, the F-15D is powered by twin Pratt & Whitney F100 engines, providing unmatched speed and manoeuvrability. With its long service history, the Eagle has achieved a perfect combat record of over 100 air-to-air victories with no losses, cementing its reputation as one of the most effective fighters in aviation history.
