Boeing F-15

History suggests the military aviation program outlined by defense officials on March 13 is unlikely to survive the appropriations process intact.

The U.S. Air Force wants to increase its buy of Boeing F-15EXs above what was previously planned.

The Air National Guard has increased the numbers of F-15s it flies, and keeping them in the air has taken creative fleet management and intensive maintenance.

The U.S. Air Force recently deployed F-22s to a tiny, bare base in the Pacific for the first in a significant demonstration of its new agile operating concept.

A top Boeing executive says he “hopes” the F-15EX fighter fills a need for longer-range tactical aircraft in the Royal Australian Air Force fleet.

Although Hornet production is forecast to end in 3-5 years, Boeing officials seem confident that a new generation of fighter production soon will begin.

Several key U.S. Air Force aircraft saw their mission-capable rates drop in fiscal 2022 compared to the prior year.

Defensive preparations in the center of Moscow perhaps reveal a new Russian respect for homegrown weapons being fielded by Ukraine.

Even if Ukraine can push Russian forces out of the country, it is likely Moscow will continue to harbor territorial ambitions.

As it currently stands today, all future F-15EXs delivered to the Air Force will look noticeably different than the first two prototypes.

The perceived lack of responsiveness from Boeing has delayed the Air Force’s ability to finalize production contracts for the first lots of F-15EX fighters, the service's acquisition chief says.

The head of U.S. Pacific Air Forces favors choosing the Boeing F-15EX to replace two squadrons of aging F-15C/D fighters at Kadena Air Base in Okinawa, Japan.

U.S. Air Force Secretary Barbara Barrett notified the Oregon Air National Guard Aug. 14 that its Portland base will be the first to replace its aging F-15C/D Eagles with the updated F-15EXs.

The F-15 fleet is expected to enter qualifications by the end of 2021, to be followed by the F-16, F-22, A-10 and B-1.

The U.S. Air Force has notified industry to expect sole-source contracts for Boeing F-15EX fighters and accompanying GE Aviation F110 engines.

The U.S. House on Dec. 17 passed a spending bill that will provide $693.3 billion to the Pentagon in fiscal 2020.
