There are plenty of new F-15s around, just take a look.
None in the USAF of course.

I'd like to see some F-15SEs also, but our politicians have decided that it better to support the regulatory-welfare state.

Especially when the really old design is like 1/2 cost at best. Buying 2x as many planes is no good if you lose them 4x faster!

the F-15 airframe rivals the newer designs, and is proven. 300+ to Zero Kill Ratio.
