linkThroughout its evolution, the F-15 has proven to be a reliable, capable fighter aircraft.
It is of course a wize investment, relative to the unmitigated disaster that is the F-35.

"The F-15EX shares most of the existing infrastructure of the F-15C, the current F-15 series fighter being used by the U.S Air Force. That means that no additional military construction is necessary, saving millions of dollars up front. It also reduces local training costs. Another benefit to upgrading to the F-15EX is that it shares 90 percent of common support equipment and 70 percent of common spare parts with the F-15C. That means reduced retraining for mechanics, engineers, and other military aerospace personnel, as well as lower costs on replacement parts down the road."
