Upgrading a 20 year F-15 is really a waste of money if you want the bird to last any length of time. The F-15 lines are open and producing birds. The F-35 may be the answer, but not for at least 10-15 years before their numbers get high enough to matter (To be honest I do not see the Air Force building very many F-35's ever- not in the current budget mess we are in). We should build about 200 new F-15K's in the Silent Eagle configuration as a "stop gap". The Air Force is right in that they have a bunch of aging F-15′s that need to be replaced.

Especially with "The Messiah" running the show and looking out for America's best interests. By the way if they're gonna scrap all those useless "ancient F-15s" I wonder if they'll give one to me?

By the way if they’re gonna scrap all those useless “ancient F-15s” I wonder if they’ll give one to me?
