The F-15 was in a previous post as a favourite of mine and it was replaced in the primary air defence role by the F-22A Raptor. The Raptor is an impressive aircraft in many ways, but it is not something that appeals to me in the same way as the Eagle. However, it really has some novelty value given that it was produced in limited numbers. Being close to Raptors as they launch is so much fun. Just try not to balls it up!
