The Strike Eagle in flight
The Strike Eagle at take-off. This prototype, first flown a year ago at St Louis, is a converted F-15B two-seater with the FAST Pack conformal fuel tanks on the fuselage, modified radar and an extended range of possible external weapon loads. The proposed production version for the USAF is likely to be designated F-15E.

The Strike Eagle prototype, now designated F-15E in the static park with an impressive array of possible external stores, including in the foreground Matra Durandal missiles.
This two-seat F-15B has recently embarked upon a 15-month test programme at Edwards AFB to develop an Integrated Flight Fire Control (IFFC) under the designation Firefly III. It is carrying ATLIS II (the Automatic Tracking Laser Illumination System, the optical sensor/tracker pod is visible on the port forward missile position).
