F-15 Eagle
The F-15 is a twin engine, extremely maneuverable, all-weather tactical fighter that was designed to gain and maintain air supremacy in aerial combat. With its advanced electronic systems and weaponry the F-15 excels at detecting, acquiring, tracking and attacking enemy aircraft. Using its integrated avionics head-up display system it is able project data directly on the windscreen allowing pilots to track and destroy enemy aircraft without having to look down at cockpit instruments. The F-15 continues to receive extensive upgrades involving the installation or modification of new and existing avionics equipment to enhance its tactical capabilities.
