next year, two Boeing F-15EXs will arrive at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., for testing. The most tricked-out, advanced Eagles ever built, and the first factory-fresh F-15s acquired by the Air Force since 2004, they’re the lead aircraft in a planned fleet of up to 200 F-15EX fighters to be added over the next 15 years.
The F-15EX comes with nearly all the bells and whistles Eagle drivers have ever wished for: fly-by-wire flight controls, two new weapon stations, a new electronic warfare suite, advanced radar, a hyper-fast computer, conformal fuel tanks, and a strengthened structure.
