    Mission records of the F15 is unprecedented. It doesn't mean it's better then a Su27.

    Range, payload, avionics, those lead the F-15E and its derivatives into the lead. Again, the Su-27 family beats the F-15 family in one area: slow and close. The one area pilots try to avoid at all costs no matter the adversary.

    Wish I had a fun name like that.

    Once knew a guy legally named "Lord Skywalker".

    He'd "open" the doors at the supermarket whenever he went there.

    SU27 looks so mean looking. Always liked that about it.

    Didn't Hold the Door, though.
    'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
    Or a yawing hole in a battered head
    And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
    And there they lay I damn me eyes
    All lookouts clapped on Paradise
    All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

    Just out of curiosity (and since you're all taking airplanes), anyone tried DCS World? any good?

    Speaking of which, the Silent Eagle will get a full, brand new, complete fly by wire.

    I expect the agility of the aircraft to improve in a non trivial way.

    Nobody is buying the F-15SE though. Boeing is working on the different F-15 Advanced instead.

    I really want to see how it performs.
