The F-15EX Eagle II Soaring High After Weapons System Evaluation – Earlier this month, the United States Air Force Operational Test and Evaluation Center Detachment 6 team members participated in two of the first developmental and operational test missile shots from the Boeing F-15EX.

With a well trained and experienced support division on the airframe with parts and logistics support well fleshed out.

Seems like a no brainer to me.

As much as I hate to admit it, I miss being around Strike Eagles.
