Air Force's New F-15EX Is Called 'Eagle II' | F-15EX Specs, News
The U.S. Air Force has named its brand new F-15EX Eagle “Eagle II.” The name is uninspiring in a time when the U.S. military could use some inspiration. The U.S. Air Force has officially announced the name of its next-generation F-15 Eagle fighter ... and it’s about what you’d expect. ✈ The new F-15EX fighter will go by the name “Eagle II,” a sad, unexciting name that misses the opportunity to inspire a new generation of pilots. Now, half of the Air Force’s fighter fleet by type, including the F-35 Lightning II, consists of sequel jets.
