No one watching Patrick Henry’s polished displays in the F-15 at Paris in 1975 could have guessed that the aircraft would still be in production 44 years later, albeit under the auspices of Boeing and not McDonnell Douglas. That Boeing would be about to build a new variant of the mighty Eagle for the U.S. Air Force would have strained credibility even further, 18 years after the last USAF F-15s were ordered. And yet that is exactly what is happening, with the USAF’s Fiscal Year 2020 budget request including $1.1 billion to buy the first eight of 144 planned F-15EX aircraft. Under this plan, the Air Force is scheduled to receive two F-15EXs in 2022, six more in 2023, and a total of 80 aircraft over the next five years.
