The Rise, Fall & Rise Of F-15 Fighters: How Eagles Continue Their Relevance Even After Decades In Service

Sakshi TiwariSeptember 10, 2023

Boeing Aerospace announced on September 7 that Poland was actively interested in buying the F-15EX Eagle II fighters. The announcement was made at the press conference at the annual MSPO defense trade exhibition without divulging specific details.

Tim Flood, Boeing’s senior director of Global Business Development for Europe and Americas, said in a statement: “Poland’s interest in the F-15EX confirms its dedication to the preparedness and effectiveness of its military forces.

The F-15EX offers superior interoperability, supportability, and affordability and a robust industry plan to support Poland’s goal of developing independent defense capabilities.”

Rob Novotny, the F-15 program’s head of commercial development, refused to discuss the “price and delivery schedule” of the American company’s proposal to Warsaw.

Additionally, he stated that “there are no negotiations and no contract talks, only some conversations with the Polish Air Force.”

So far, the US Air Force (USAF) is the only customer of the Eagle II and has already acquired two of these fighters and is preparing to purchase 104 of them.

Although the aircraft is being aggressively pitched for export to some countries, no formal agreement has been signed to sell this fighter outside the United States.

The F-15EX, the most modern iteration of the F-15, has several new features and capabilities over earlier Eagles, including a powerful active electronically-scanned array (AESA) radar and a sophisticated electronic warfare suite.

Boeing frequently highlights the jet’s impressive combat range and cargo capacity compared to other American and international fighters on the market.

“The F-15EX is the world’s most advanced fighter with unmatched capability, lethality, and survivability and is the right fit to strengthen Poland’s security needs,” said Novotny.

“Through enhanced interoperability with US and NATO forces, capacity for technology growth, and a 20,000+ hour economic, operational airframe life, Poland can expect the F-15EX to win in existing and future threat environments.”

The journey of US F-15s, from when they entered service with the United States to when they were upgraded to a new role as Eagle IIs, has been spectacular. As Boeing eyes new customers for an aircraft that is an updated variant of its best dogfighter, EurAsian Times dives deep into the rise and fall and another peak in F-15’s popularity.

What Makes The F-15 Stand Out?

The F-15 Eagle is an American twin-engine, all-weather tactical fighter aircraft that is incredibly maneuverable and was developed to permit the Air Force to establish and maintain air superiority over the battlefield.

During the Cold War years, the USAF stressed the necessity for an aircraft that could avoid detection as air defense systems continued to advance, which led to the creation of the F-15.

The Eagle has been exported to numerous countries, including Israel, Japan, and Saudi Arabia. It is still in service with several countries, with upgraded variant production continuing.

With a recorded record of 104 combat wins and zero losses, the Eagle has earned its reputation as the king of the skies over multiple conflicts and under various Air Forces.

The F-15’s air superiority versions and the A/B/C/D models have suffered no losses in combat despite contrary claims that could never be verified.

Emerging as one of the best dogfighters in the world, the aircraft also earned the reputation of a “MiG killer.”

As previously observed by the EurAsian Times, the F-15s emerged as MiG Killers as they established air superiority in the Gulf War from the outset.

At the time, the F-15s shot down many MiGs, contributing to its spectacular combat record and global recognition as one of the best combat jets in history. In June 1979, an Israeli Air Force F-15A shot down a Syrian MiG-21, marking the first air-to-air victory for this cutting-edge aircraft.

File Image: A USAF F-15C fired an AIM-7 Sparrow in 2005. (Wikimedia Commons)

A former USAF lieutenant, Cesar Rodriguez, has shot down more MiGs than any other pilot since the Vietnam War.

During the first Gulf War in 1991, Rodriguez’s first two kills were against a Mikoyan MiG-29 and a Mikoyan MiG-23 of the Iraqi Air Force. He achieved his third kill on a MiG-29 of the Yugoslav air force in the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia.

Captain Jeff “Claw” Hwang accomplished a stunning feat of aerial battle in March 1999 while flying his F-15C, with tail number 86-0156, and downing two MiG-29 planes.

The incident occurred during NATO’s engagement in the Kosovo conflict when the alliance launched several airstrikes against Serbian forces backing Kosovo Albanians seeking independence.

The platform’s capabilities have since been demonstrated, leading to the development of the F-15E Strike Eagle, a modified version designed to excel in air-to-ground combat, and the F-15EX Eagle II, an updated version of the classic F-15 Eagle.

F-15E Strike Eagle – Wikipedia

Because of its adaptability, a better all-weather strike derivative known as the F-15E Strike Eagle was also eventually developed. It entered service in 1989 and has since been exported to other countries.

The F-15E was created in the 1980s to conduct long-range, high-speed interdiction missions without the aid of escorting or electronic warfare aircraft. The Strike Eagle has been used in high-end combat operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and Libya.

During these operations, the strike fighter has conducted combat air patrols, deep strikes on high-value targets, and close air support for coalition forces.

Additionally, it has been exported to several nations, including Israel and Saudi Arabia. However, the largest user of the aircraft continues to be the United States.

The F-15 Never Lost Its Sheen!

As the US started to focus on fifth-generation fighter jets with stealth technology, like the F-22s, the older F-15 Eagles somewhat took a backseat. By the 2010s, the USAF intended to replace all its F-15 air superiority aircraft with the Lockheed Martin F-22. Still, due to the highly constrained F-22 procurement, the USAF was compelled to continue using the F-15C/D into the 2020s.

It was revealed in June that the proposed House’s fiscal 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) would approve the Air Force’s request to retire 57 F-15C and F-15D aircraft, some of which are approaching the end of their service lives and are over 40 years old.

Diminished in utility by their age, the F-15C/D Eagle aircraft were based at the Kadena Air Base in Japan. This was the only unit of these fighters located outside the United States. The US Air Force’s Eagles first landed at Kadena in September 1979, and the model has been continuously stationed there.

The withdrawal was essentially informed by the need to modernize the air presence in the region against the backdrop of exacerbated regional military threats. The aircraft has since been replaced by the F-22 Raptors, as was planned in the original scheme of things by the USAF.

While the F-15s returned to their base, the 3rd Wing at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, sent roughly a dozen F-22 Raptors to Okinawa on November 4 to start a six-month rotation.

According to the Air Force, the Raptors are being used as “backfill” for the departing F-15s, as the strategy calls for fighters with more advanced capabilities than the F-15C and D.

Although the F-15C/D is slowly being pulled out to free up resources, the USAF expects to use the F-15E Strike Eagle well into the 2030s. Earlier this year, the US Central Military Command (CENTCOM) sent out its most dependable and battle-tested fighter, the F-15E, to launch retaliation strikes after an Iranian drone purportedly targeted a military base housing US personnel.

The F-15E is somehow still attracting customers. Among potential buyers of this aircraft are countries like Egypt and Thailand. A US deal to sell F-15s to the Egyptian Air Force was announced in March last year. However, a contract needs to be finalized after the price and delivery date are determined and agreed to by both sides.

As for Thailand, the US offered to sell an older generation of fighters, including the F-15 or the F-16s, after turning down the Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF)’s request to purchase the F-35A aircraft. Even though the aircraft is expected to be replaced by more capable F-15EX Eagle II aircraft, it hasn’t lost its sheen.

Re-Emergence Of F-15

As could be deciphered by the latest Boeing announcement for a potential sale of F-15EX to Poland, the newest iteration of this combat-hardened aircraft is looking for export customers, with the manufacturer hopeful of sealing a contract.

Besides Poland, Israel is also looking to buy Boeing’s F-15EX Eagle II fighters. Israel has officially requested the all-new F-15EX fighters by sending a Letter of Request (LOR) for the warplanes to the US government. Tel Aviv is reportedly looking to purchase at least 25. No final contract has been signed.

Boeing is also offering the Eagle II to two countries in the Asian continent. The Republic of Indonesia inked a memorandum of understanding with Boeing to acquire up to 24 F-15EX fighters recently. However, even that deal hasn’t been finalized, and there has been no information on the financial aspects of the agreement.

Earlier, Boeing had pitched the Eagle II to the Indian Air Force as well. At the time, EurAsian Times had noted that the new fighter, which uses the frame of the classic F-15 and bears a resemblance to the Su-30 MKI in terms of its size, can fulfill a host of missions that include homeland and airbase defense, no-fly zone enforcement against limited or no air defense systems, and deploying standoff munitions.

F-15EX Fighter jet

However, with the IAF now invested in choosing a multi-role fighter jet under the MMRCA contract, the F-21 on offer by Lockheed Martin has somehow caught more attention. As of now, the United States Air Force is the only customer of the aircraft. However, with countries expressing interest, customers are expected to line up.

According to Fox News, the F-15E aircraft’s improvements will let it carry out the same bomber duties at a third of the F-35’s operational cost. After two years of experimental testing, the USAF reportedly found that the new F-15EX performed better than anticipated in terms of the quantity and weight of ammunition.

Moreover, according to previous research, the F-15EX may be more capable and less expensive to buy and operate than the F-35 for operations that do not primarily rely on stealth. To top it all, the F-15EX can carry up to 13.6 tons of weapons, more than any other F-15 variant.

The American Eagle aircraft, thus, are far from done.

Again, sadly I couldn't find the simpsons gif I wanted but I did find a video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWNQUvIk954&t=44s

As always, The Simpsons has a reaction gif for everything.

youtube

Ahh Rick Astley, regaining fame through becoming a meme couldn't have happened to a better guy.

This is the first I'm hearing of this for some reason, I imagine this is going to go incredibly badly for that company and the people in charge.

The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has reportedly found that AOG Technics provided uncertified parts for older-generation Airbus and Boeing jets. CFM International, the engine supplier, is assisting in the investigation of allegedly faked documents and the distribution of unapproved parts for CFM56 engines, Bloomberg reports.

Good lord, hope they can get everything up to code before anything bad happens, worse I should say. ___________________

Unrelated to the actual story, getyarn.io has a large database of different movies and tv shows that they chopped up into bits that are just short enough to avoid copyright issues.

I go there when I can't find a higher quality ones, their resolution is dialed down pretty low so I like other sources if I can.

This wonderful, original-paint 1968 Harley-Davidson ML125 Rapido is an Italian-American hybrid from the years Harley-Davidson owned a stake in Aermacchi. The story of how an all-American company came to eventually buy a manufacturer of Italian lightweights is full of surprise and success, for Aermacchi gave Harley-Davidson its only Grand Prix World Championships and many years of beginner motorcycles to broaden the factory’s appeal. The Aermacchi factory built aircraft before World War II but was banned from building planes after the war, so it turned to motorcycles, building a terrific series of flat-single engines from 1957 on that had excellent performance, light weight and great styling.

When the factory was able to build aircraft again in the 1950s, its aviation business boomed and the production facilities on the shore of Lake Varese grew cramped. Harley-Davidson had outgrown the DKW RT125 design (inherited as war reparations) that was the basis of the Hummer line, and the company needed an update to stay competitive in the learner’s market. Harley-Davidson made a 50% purchase of Aermacchi’s motorcycle division in 1960, and production was moved to a nearby factory space. The chief engineer at Aermacchi, Ing. William Soncini, designed a series of two-stroke motors in the mid-1960s for road and racing that were light, inexpensive, easy to maintain, reliable and handled well. The racers proved phenomenal, and Harley-Davidson was rewarded for its 100% purchase of Aermacchi motorcycles in 1970 with two GP World Championships in 1974 and ’75.

This excellent, original-paint 1968 Harley-Davidson ML125 Rapido was sold in Europe as the Aermacchi Aletta 125. It’s a 125cc two-stroke, single-cylinder model in classic 1960s Aermacchi lightweight style with a light and strong spine-tube frame and large full-width drum brakes. It’s a wonderful time-warp machine from an amazing era of Harley-Davidson’s global reach.

Part #2: About Boeing

Boeing was founded in 1916 as Aero Products Company in Seattle, Washington. In 1917 it was renamed Boeing Airplane Company. Boeing built a reputation over the years for being a leader in safety and building quality aircraft. As their reputation grew, so did their market share. Boeing’s planes became a favorite of pilots to fly — they handled well, and they were designed in a way that they were easy to fly. Boeing’s mission statement as I could discern is “Lead on safety, quality, integrity and sustainability” and their vision is “Start with engineering excellence”.

Boeing had a proud culture of being engineer-driven. The engineers who were designing and building the planes had a lot of sway in the company. The direction the company took, the types of aircraft developed, everything was focused around engineers and engineering. They created commercial jets, military jets, military helicopters, and spacecraft. Boeing was the driving force behind the United States becoming a leader in the sky and in space.

Boeing is contracted to design and build seaplanes for the US Navy for WWI, the Model C. They order 50 of them for the war effort. Boeing is also contracted to build the MB-1 bomber. Over the next few years, Boeing receives contracts to build various military planes, while continuing to build their civilian seaplanes. Boeing’s planes are either drafted for military use during WWII from their commercial uses, or they are contracted to build military-specific planes — like the B-29 Superfortress bomber. This is the model that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. The B-29 Bockscar dropped the bomb on Nagasaki.

In June of 1946, Boeing begins designing the B-52, one of the most notable bombers in their history. Having flown in multiple wars, as well as being one of the primary planes designed to carry nuclear weapons in the event of a global thermonuclear war with the Soviet Union. It is first completed in November of 1951.

Boeing started making commercial passenger jets in 1955 with the release of the 707 twin-jet, first delivered to Pan Am in 1958. The 707 was the first plane that was ordered by the Air Force specifically for use for the President and other high-ranking officials. The 707 was the first jet to be called “Air Force One”.

The Saturn V rocket is the only launch vehicle ever to have brought humans beyond low-earth orbit. This is the rocket that brought Neil Armstrong and all the other Apollo missions to the Moon. The Saturn V holds the record for the heaviest payload launched into space. The Saturn V was designed by Boeing. Even the Lunar Rover was designed by Boeing.

In 1967, the 737 was released. Nearly all airlines in the US were flying Boeing aircraft. Southwest is notable for exclusively flying the 737 — their entire fleet is solely Boeing 737 aircraft. From their inception in 1967, they have (with two exceptions) only ever flown the 737 family of jets. The exception was briefly flying 727 jets for short periods. In 2021, Southwest had a total order of 234 737 Max jets which was the largest single purchaser of the 737 Max.

“The Queen of the Skies” — The Boeing 747. This plane made it possible for normal people to travel by plane, and brought about the “Jet Age”. The 747 was the first jumbo-jet, it had 4 engines, it could make it across the ocean with ease, and it could hold an immense amount of passengers. The 747 was the first twin-aisle aircraft, making ingress and egress much easier than a single-aisle aircraft. The 747 is one of the safest airplanes when adjusted for seat count. A modified version of the 747 serves as Air Force 1 — the president’s plane. The 747 is also notable for carrying the Space Shuttle as the Space Shuttle Carrier Aircraft.

Boeing’s culture underwent a major shift in 1996. It merged with McDonnell Douglas — who was at the time another major manufacturer of aircraft. The more business-first-focused McDonnell Douglas President and CEO became the President and CEO of the newly merged company. One change that was brought about was moving the headquarters from Seattle (which was near the engineers) to Chicago. The goal of this was to create physical distance from those who may object to changes made by the executives. The new mandate was to design and build the planes more cheaply, get higher profit margins, and increase the share price. Everything else came second.

This was around the time that Airbus was gaining market share, and in some cases, selling better than Boeing. In 1990, Boeing had 80% of the passenger commercial jet market, and Airbus had less than 20%. 5 years later, Boeing had 50%, with Airbus taking 30%, and by 2003, Airbus had 52% of the commercial jet market. The loss of the market leadership drove even higher a push to reduce costs, and increase the speed at which planes are developed and built. This loss spurred the development of the 737 Max, and with the newly required speed and focus on profits, the problems that ensued.

A320 Line Training

There has never been a better time to become an airline pilot. The industry is facing a critical pilot shortage and pay scales are better than ever. There was a time when pilot training was sponsored by the airline hiring you. Unfortunately, the situation has changed and only few airlines still apply this policy. In the late 90’s, pilots have started to pay for their own pilot training. This has been a controversial discussion at that time but now, it is one of the most popular ways to boost your career and we are here to help you get the best training for the price you pay. Line Training program helps you increase the number of hours flown as well as gain experience in the actual aircraft. By completing the Line Training program you can collect required hours to reach the career you desire. As it is highly requested training and we see lots of different companies which organize that, there have also occurred several cases when pilots pay for a program, don’t start Line Training and never get their money back. Here is something you can do to avoid fraud:

Don’t pay upfront for a promise. A trustworthy company will always provide you with information about the offer, screening dates and deposit will be paid only after signing the contract. An ordinary deposit can’t exceed 15 % of the total cost and you have to receive a document which confirms your payment.

Do your own research. Type a company’s name into your favorite search engine with words like “review,” “complaint” or “scam.” There are many various forums and social media sites where you can find pilots discussing about certain companies which offer Line Training programs. This information can save a lot of money for you if you find out that your chosen company is a scam.

Look for testimonials. If the company is reliable, usually they share success stories that have been told by pilots who finished their program. Normally, the company enables the chance to talk directly to pilots who graduated from such program and hear everything from someone who has already went through the whole process.

History of the company. The company which wasn’t established yesterday will have the whole history behind. This can be really helpful while deciding which one to choose. For example, Leads Aviation consultants is a part of Leads Aviation Group Ltd a Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE) listed global provider of one-stop-shop aviation businesssolutions. This innovative and fast growing company has more than 2000 employees living and working in 40 locations worldwide and speaking more than 10 different languages. The Group has developed a strong technical base, necessary infrastructure, teamed and trained top-level professionals and received international activity certification and recognition. When you find this kind of information, it is clear that this company was not founded just to take your money.

Guarantee of security. In order to protect many pilots out there, lac created a special badge which will mark all of our Line Training programs and be the guarantee of security. Apply for a program with a badge which says Leads Aviation Approved Line Training programs” and you will be provided with the best service that you can get in the market. What is most important, you will have a great possibility to be employed as a First Officer with the European airlines. So, if you want to avoid scamming, research well when it comes to picking the right company for a Line Training program. If you have any questions about this program at lac contact us [email protected] Open line training programs at leadsaviation.com

F-20 Tigershark: an F-5 with steroids

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 12/03/2023 - 22:46 in History, Military

The F-20 Tigershark was a high-level, elegant and robust jet fighter, created to enhance the F-5 model. Northrop Corporation developed it in the 1980s, making it remarkable with advanced avionics, state-of-the-art weapon systems and a powerful engine, reminiscent of a steroid F-5 jet fighter.

It was really an aviation wonder that crossed the line and raised the standards. However, despite being positioned as an important player in the global jet market, military customers did not accept it and the program had to be filed.

The F-20 Tigershark was an updated version of Northrop Corporation's F-5 Freedom Fighter, designed to be a light and affordable jet fighter that could be exported internationally. Northrop had plans to sell to countries such as Taiwan, South Korea and others who were looking for a modern fighter that would fit their budget.

One of the outstanding features of the F-20's design was its fly-by-wire digital control system, allowing exceptional handling and maneuverability. It also included a more robust engine than its predecessor, providing greater speed and better climbing capabilities. In addition, the F-20 incorporated some stealth features to reduce its radar cross-section and used materials that absorbed the radar.

Any buyers?

The F-20 Tigershark completed an extensive flight test program during development. In August 82, the first prototype flew from Edwards Air Force Base in California, reaching 20,000 feet and Mach 1.4 on its 35-minute maiden voyage. In the following months, the prototype underwent handling, performance and system tests. In November, it reached Mach 2.05 during a maximum speed attempt, in addition to discreet demonstrations of avionics, weaponry and stealth in flight.

In addition to the tests in the US, the F-20 also had demonstrations in countries such as South Korea and Switzerland to boost sales. High-speed performance, high-G curves, low-level flights and handling impressed potential buyers during these demonstrations.

Overshadowed by the competition

The F-20 Tigershark project faced a variety of challenges that eventually led to its cancellation. The intense competition in the global jet fighter market was a key factor, as the F-20 encountered strong competition from other popular models such as the F-16 and Mirage 2000. Many potential buyers have opted for these established projects, considered safer and more reliable.

Political pressure also contributed to the fall of the F-20. The U.S. government was concerned that the F-20 could reduce the price of the more expensive F-16, produced by General Dynamics, an American company. In addition, there were concerns about the sale of advanced military technology to certain countries, such as Taiwan, one of the main potential buyers of the F-20. This damaged Northrop's marketing efforts and led to limited sales.

Economic factors also played a role at the end of the program. Northrop invested heavily in the development of the F-20, but without significant requests, it was unlikely that this investment would be recovered. In addition, the high cost of production made it difficult to compete with other established models that had already achieved economies of scale.

FX Program

Much of the development of the F-20 was carried out under a U.S. Department of Defense project called "FX". FX sought to develop fighters that would be able to combat with the latest Soviet aircraft, but excluding sensitive frontline technologies used by U.S. Air Force (USAF) aircraft.

FX was a product of the Carter government's military export policies, which aimed to provide foreign nations with high-quality equipment without the risk of U.S. frontline technology falling into the hands of the Soviets. Northrop had high hopes for the F-20 in the international market, but the policy changes after the election of Ronald Reagan meant that the F-20 had to compete for sales against the newer variants of the F-16 and not with the F-16/79 downgraded.

The F-20 Tigershark program was abandoned in 1986 after three prototypes were built (two of which fell after their pilots fainted due to excessive g-forces) and a partially completed quarter.

The cool promotional video of the F-20 above was made in the 1980s and presents an introduction of the super ace Chuck Yeager, the first pilot to break the sound barrier, who at the time was a spokesman for Northrop.

In his autobiography, which he wrote after the F-20 was canceled, Yeager praised Tigershark as being "magnificent".
