The F-15 ruled the skies from the day she was put into operation (1974 +/-) until the day the F-22 was put into operation (2006 +/-) — a 30+ year run. They can talk about the Mig 29 until the cows come home, but the M29 was the F-15’s bitch from day 1.

There has never been a more beautiful or more effective milcraft ever. Even the F-22 uses electronic “tricks” (good ones, mind you) for a lot of its domination profile. The F-15 did it with superior design and execution. Her place in milcraft history is secure.
