This is what I mean by you not knowing Jack diddly. The F-15 was NOT adapted to replace the F-111. The F-111 has no niche mission replacement at all currently. The 'bomb Eagle' was an adaptation of the air superiority fighter for tactical air to replace the Thunderchief  and the Phantom II in the interdiction roles.   

to show how little he knows or how quick he can jump to the wrong conclusion. "The F-111 has been replaced in USAF service by the F-15E Strike Eagle". //// http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Dynamics_F-111_Aardvark

Like in the past we will see (but not read) 100 posts by Keffler trying to repair that huge blunder of his... I used to call them bestialities. All the while he will be calling names and adding more crazy stuff. The exit of the F-111 left the USA with out a medium bomber... the F-15's air frame that had originally been optimized for air-to-air combat was modified (made heavier) to stand the rigor of attack missions and that is how the F-15 strike eagle was bought by South Korea as well as by us. /// keffler, notice that I have not called you any names... your statements ALWAYS stand on their own... a show of poor judgment. //// There are some topics that you discuss that I do not know well but I have no doubt those are also rife with errors like this one.

Lol at the troll. Whose trying to damage control here when his dishonesty is shone in black and white? You are, you LIAR.  

Here... another quote that I am sure you will cherish in your scrap book... "In March 1981, the USAF announced the Enhanced Tactical Fighter (ETF) program to procure a replacement for the F-111. The program was later renamed the Dual-Role Fighter (DRF) competition. The concept envisioned an aircraft capable of launching deep air interdiction missions without requiring additional support by fighter escort or jamming.[13] General Dynamics submitted the F-16XL, while McDonnell Douglas submitted the F-15E."

And that is exactly what I said. But in you lobotomy-tin-can of your data-full mind you can't put together the thoughts that indeed the F-15E was conceived as a strike aircraft to replace the F-111. You just jumped at it with your typical insults and crazy ape-talk (apologies to the apes).

nope... Keffler is dead wrong. I said that the F-15 was "adapted" to replace the F-111. And that is perfectly accurate. Then Keffler jumped into it with his insults not realizing that it was him who was bungling the topic.
