The effective and robust aerodynamically design lay-out led to production of the two-seat “all-weather” F-15E Strike Eagle fighter-bomber. Entering into service with the USAF in the late 1980s and replacing the outdated F-111, its operational roles included ground attack, bombing and interdiction missions. It retained the flight design characteristics of the original F-15 such as the two tail drifts, sturdy mid-wing and tandem two-seater cabin, in the rear of which was the Weapon Systems Officer. From this position the officer selected the aircraft’s route management, target tracking and electronic countermeasures. The F15-E was deployed to numerous operational theaters such as the Desert Shield and Desert Storm campaigns of the early 1990s.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Italeri","offers":[{"title":"Italeri \/ 1\/72 \/ Jet","offer_id":53209364398360,"sku":"Ita90166","price":440.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0141\/5256\/4794\/files\/wegIZiFlPHnumJBmIN5sbpsPVf0nMQkkd70bMltW.jpg?v=1794239504","url":"https:\/\/swordandboard.co.za\/products\/italeri-1-72-f-15e-strike-eagle","provider":"Sword \u0026 Board Games and Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
