About the Boeing F-15 Eagle:  The McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) F-15 Eagle is an all-weather tactical fighter designed to gain and maintain air superiority in aerial combat.  It was developed for the U.S. Air Force, and first flew in July 1972.  The F-15E Strike Eagle derivative is an all-weather strike fighter that entered service in 1989.  The U.S. Air Force plans to keep the F-15 in service until 2025. The F-15C/D model is being replaced in US service by the F-22 Raptor. The F-15E however will remain in service for years to come because of its different air-to-ground role and the low number of hours on their airframes.  18 USAF F-15Cs have been retrofitted with the AN/APG-63(V)2 Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radars and are expected to remain in service with the USAF well past 2020.  The Royal Saudi Air Force has purchased several squadrons of long-range F-15S models, the Republic of Korea is purchasing upgraded F-15Ks, and Singapore is purchasing the F-15SG variant. There is debate within the United States concerning F-15 modernization versus retirement.   This is due primarily to the cost of the F-22 Raptor, which will make it difficult if not impossible to replace the F-15 on a one-for-one basis (possibly as little as one-for-three).  The F-15 might therefore be kept in a supporting role so that the USAF does not face a numerical disadvantage in future conflicts.  Such upgrades could include an AESA radar, Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS), and addition of low-observable modifications, or replacement of engines with thrust vectoring models.   On 26 September 2006, at the Air Force Association's Air & Space Conference and Technology Exposition in Washington D.C., the USAF announced their plan to upgrade 178 F-15C fighters with the AN/APG-63(V)3 AESA radar.  Additionally, the Air Force also plans to upgrade other F-15s with the JHMCS.  The Air Force will keep these 178 F-15Cs as well as the 224 F-15Es in service beyond 2025.     About the Kawasaki T-4 Jet Trainer: The Kawasaki T-4 is a subsonic intermediate jet trainer aircraft used by the Japan Air Self Defense Force.  It is currently used by the JASDF's Blue Impulse aerobatic team.  The first XT-4 prototype flew on July 29, 1985.  The first production aircraft was delivered in 1988.
