If we go into a massive war, I wonder if we can increase productions of weapons?

The F-15SA is a pretty hot bird. I don't know if there is a more advanced version than that. Undefeated in aerial combat. Pretty bad ass bird still today. It was the first modern fighter I supported. The mighty F-4 Phantom II being the first.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - That's interesting. Was it better pilots or the variable wing the factor do you think?

We were always told it was because F-15 engines were designed and tuned for the air they get at altitude while FB-111 engines were designed and tuned for the air they get at low altitude. No engineer but air at low altitude is denser than air at altitude so guessing F-15 couldn't get enough air for optimum engine performance.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - That makes sense. I'm sure some engineer could tell us the particulars! LOL
