Super Hornet FA.1 lol
Actually Nighthawk GR.1 sounds pretty cool tbh, but Eagle FG.1 and Tomcat F.1 sound pretty lame

They do seem to like working with the British
yeah its why it never happened since it would have had to been off of the books and with how unpopular margret thatcher already was she didnt want to rusk it going public
i have noticed lockheed and BAE work together a lot ever since Lockheed Martin Sanders was bought by BAE’s US company.
you say that but it was Ronald Reagan that really pushed for it
not one brit main wants the eagle.
i also said to give it to Israel

hell no, its an American eagle. if Israel sold their F-15I to Saudi then they could get those, but guess what? they didnt
LM Sanders legacy lives on
they are the only foreign company that are allowed access to the highest classified levels of the pentagon

Guess it’ll just have to do as a skin for one of the existing US F-15s then. Sounds like a fine solution.

different radar, cockpit, airframe, payload, sensors, engines
where do you think they got them from?
Mergers are a big part of BAE’s DNA, and there’s nothing else really in the UK to merge with so we’re just eating up little bits from all across the world.
It really is a multinational defense company in every way

Saudi Arabia isn’t locked to any nation yet, so they could potentially provide a F-15 as premium or event material for the US tree.
Not saying they need it of course, just that they could get one.

F-15SA actually fits the best into the tech tree out of all the export eagles. id like to see it there (in USAF test livery ofc)
I’m not gonna join in on that debate lol
