Thats cool and all but the F15A isnt mentioned in a single one of these.
Actually, there isnt Any model of F15 specified, just “F15”
In one of the sources , its stated that testing started in 1996 , long after the F15A was replaced by other variants

Well here we are with the F-15C being added soon, and still no BOL pods on any American jets aside from the bombcat.
