The F-22 may be the future, the F-16 the hardest working, and the late, great F-14 the most interesting.
But the F-15 profile is so beautiful, like a swan. And it has owned the skies for 20+ years, deferring only to the F-22 in recent days...
The F-15SE is a GREAT airplane. It may not be as sexy as the F-22 or supercruise or be quite the same in avionics but it’ll beat the pants off the F-35 in an overall assessment.
