From its aerodynamic cell the all-time F-15E Strike Eagle two-seater fighter-bomber was developed. Designed for ground attack bombing and interdiction missions it entered service in the USAF in the late 1980s.

It was employed in numerous operational activities beginning with the Desert Shield and Desert Storm campaigns in the early 1990s. For collectors over the age of 14
