The F-15(E) Eagle

The F-15 is one of my favorite fighters. The reason why it is my favorite is because it can be a fighter or a bomber and it has a wide variety of weapons it is capable of loading. It serves many countries including the U.S. It was very useful in the gulf war and is still very useful today because of it ability to strike air or ground targets accurately and efficiently.
