The F-15 Strike Eagle maintained air superiority for over 30 years. We've often heard about how much damage fighter planes in WWII could take, while still flying, but I always thought of jet fighters as rather fragile. That misconception was probably fueled by all the planes I took out of the skies with good missile hits on those flight simulators I played in the 1990's. However, the real world shows us just how well-built, and tough, modern fighter planes really are.
