Im not a cheerleader for the F-35, but the F-15 is reaching its end of life (50yo design, nearly 45 years in service). They have had at least two crashes due to structural failure.

30 April 2002 : F-15C-27-MC, 80-0022

2 November 2007 : F-15C-28-MC, 80-0034

Both lost due to structural failure.

One structural failure was because of a manufacturing error, not a design flaw that would lead to a failure.
