Another model of aircraft of the US armed forces to have recently
showed signs of fatigue has been the F-15 jet fighter (see AVIONEWS).

How long can our guys be expected to hold the line with these ancient
airplanes?


Well, when each generation seems to cost 10 times as much as the previous

multi-role fighter bomber, one attack aircraft, one tanker, an AWACS, and
85 B-52s.
