Product: 1:48 US F-15E Strike Eagle
The McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle design was initiated in the 1970s to
equip the United States Air Force fighter squadrons with an advanced and
high-performance jet fighter. The effective and robust aerodynamical
design lay-out led to production of the two-seat "all-weather" F-15E
Strike Eagle fighter-bomber. Entering into service with the USAF in the
late 1980s and replacing the outdated F-111, its operational roles
included ground attack, bombing and interdiction missions. It retained
the flight design characteristics of the original F-15 such as the two
tail drifts, sturdy mid-wing and tandem two-seater cabin, in the rear of
which was the Weapon Systems Officer. From this position the officer
selected the aircraft’s route management, target tracking and electronic
countermeasures. The F15-E was deployed to numerous operational theaters
such as the Desert Shield and Desert Storm campaigns of the early 1990s.
