Except for the F-15E. . . .just say’n

What came first the fighter or the bomber? Hint the fighter versions ends with suffix A-D. Going to my original point that you build the fighter first, then hang bombs on it.

According to the engineers at Boeing, and the flight-line old guys at St Louis (they service and repair the jets), the F-15E is 80% different from the Gay Eagles. Don’t even have the same landing gear. Totally different jet.

If you just go by looks as most non-aviation types usually do, then yeah, but if you actually look at the components of the jet it is not.

The F-15E is a terrific multi-role jet.
