The US Air Force Boeing F15-E Strike Eagle was photographed at Eglin AFB, FL. by Warren Liebmann. This high-quality
image will make a unique gift, or collectors item.
The F-15E is a two-seat, dual-role, totally integrated fighter for all-weather, air-to-air and deep interdiction
missions. The rear cockpit is upgraded to include four multi-purpose CRT displays for aircraft systems and weapons
management. The digital, triple-redundant Lear Siegler flight control system permits coupled automatic terrain
following, enhanced by a ring-laser gyro inertial navigation system.
For low-altitude, high-speed penetration and precision attack on tactical targets at night or in adverse weather,
the F-15E carries a high-resolution APG-70 radar and low-altitude navigation and targeting infrared for night pods.
In Desert Storm, the F-15E dual-role fighter provided devastatingly effective flying at night and in bad weather
to attack numerous mobile Scud missile launchers and other high-value military and ground targets. The F-15E also
maintained a 95.5 percent average mission capable rate, the highest of any fighter in the war.
In the Balkans, the F-15E was the only fighter able to attack ground targets around the clock, in all weather conditions.
The Boeing F-15E/AGM-130 combination proved to be highly effective in poor weather conditions and against surface-to-air
threats.
The F-15E can carry payloads of up to 23,000 pounds and is the only fighter in U.S. production capable of performing
the long-range, precision strike mission. It also retains the full air-to-air capability of the F-15C.
