Newest U.S. military fighter jet arrives in Portland | FOX 13 Seattle

The F-15EX is a missile truck. It can fly behind the F-35's and launch missile the F-35 can guide to their target while staying outside the engagement range. Can't wait until it gets the new AIM-260.

In the early morning after 9/11 my wife and I were woken by the sound of low flying jet aircraft. I told my wife they were military jets flying coverage. I later learned they were from Portland. Thank you for your service!

A guy with a new toy; you can hear the excitement in his voice.

Fun fact no F-15 has ever been downed in air-to-air combat and it seems only 1 loss to AAA in Desert Storm.

Those C models, built in '85, probably still have the old CRT color displays that I helped develop at Sperry Flight Systems in Phoenix. I was a tech working under the lead engineer. Project went from breadboarding to finished product in about 4 years; maybe a bit less.

remember seeing a new F15 in 1977 at an air show at then Selfridge AFB!!

Did he say Boeing? Better check those rivets!🤣

God Bless America

At least the door on these are designed to pop off 🤣

Thank you for everything that you guys do! 🇺🇸

Same unit I think, that scrambled to Seattle when that guy stole that Horizon Dash 8 years back!

Will they be used to help Portland police fight crime...?????

Designed in the 1970's and still going strong with upgrades. That old cold war was a time for innovation and unfortunately it seems to have reared its ugly head again.

BEASTS !!!!

One of the best, if not the best fighter platform ever built.

Fun Fact the price of a F-15EX is 90 to 97 mil about similar or more than a F-35A these days.

The best for the best! Awesome!

The F-15EX Eagle II, the newest model of the F-15 fighter jet, is manufactured at Boeing's St. Louis, Missouri production facility God bless it wasn't built in Renton Washington

The Mass Produced F-35s are Cheaper than the Limited Production F-15EX, but although the F-15s aren't Stealth compared to the F-35s they are Missile Trucks, and Surely need allot less Maintenance than the Stealth Coatings of the F-35s, a Coating that forces them to be Flown Under Speed due to the Heat from High Speed would mean allot more Stealth Coating Maintenance, so since the F-15 should cost less per hour to Fly, and Probably has More Flight Hour Life in it, overtime the Limited Produced F-15EXs probably cost less than the Mass Produced F-35s, but your Reporting of saying the F-15EX is Cheaper than the F-35s is Flawed!

The mighty F15 is an icon of the skies, the most successful accomplished and capable (F35/F22 notwithstanding) fighter jet in the world.
