Testament to their longevity, I guess. First flight of the F15 was what, 1972?

Yes, but the F-15E is a revised airframe first produced in the mid-1980s.

When we had wing issues a few years back, the F-15Es were excluded from grounding because they were so new.

Boeing is still making them (for South Korea).
