The F-15 Eagle is an all-weather, extremely maneuverable, tactical fighter
designed to permit the Air Force to gain and maintain air superiority in aerial combat. This unique high-quality
poster captures the beauty of this aircraft.
The Eagle's air superiority is achieved through a mixture of unprecedented maneuverability and acceleration, range,
weapons and avionics. It can penetrate enemy defense and outperform and outfight any current enemy aircraft. The
F-15 has electronic systems and weaponry to detect, acquire, track and attack enemy aircraft while operating in
friendly or enemy-controlled airspace. The weapons and flight control systems are designed so one person can safely
and effectively perform air-to-air combat.
The F-15 Eagle is the most capable multirole fighter in the world. Since entering operational service in 1974,
the F-15 has attained an unprecedented perfect air combat record of 100.5 victories and zero losses. F-15s were
responsible for downing 33 of the 35 fixed-wing aircraft Iraq lost in air combat during Operation Desert Storm,
and the F-15 was responsible for downing four Mig-29 fighters during the Balkan conflict.
The Eagle can be armed with combinations of four different air-to-air weapons: AIM-7F/M Sparrow missiles or AIM-120
advanced medium range air-to-air missiles on its lower fuselage corners, AIM-9L/M Sidewinder or AIM-120 missiles
on two pylons under the wings, and an internal 20mm Gatling gun in the right wing root.
More than 1,500 F-15s have been produced for both domestic and international customers, and have accumulated more
than 4.4 million flight hours. Approximately 1,150 F-15s are still in service worldwide with the U.S. Air Force
and Air National Guard, and with the air forces of Israel, Japan and Saudi Arabia.
