The F-15SE or Silent Eagle is the latest varient of the F-15, far as I know. It has radar absorbent coatings in all the leading edges and the ability to store weapons internally inside the converted conformal fuel tanks. I don't know how much these mods reduce it's radar cross section, also I'm not sure if the pic is the SE or E.

That is an F15E, not an SE. The two tail sections of an SE are pushed out at about a 15-20 degree angle from the center as part of the radar absorbing issues. This pic has a tail that is completely vertical, therefore it's an E.

Thanx schuyler, the guy that sent me this pic said it was an SE but I thought it looked just like the E.

I was just reading about these an hour ago. Apparently they have a fair radar cross section reduction in the frontal plane, but not so much from the sides.

Since Schuyler already did the plane corrections, I'll just ask our good Lord to watch over those who are flying it..
Had a buddy that cleaned up a plane crash out west of Tucson one time.. pilot made it out.. They reported on the news that it was loaded with weed, tramp buddy of mine said i bet they didn't clean it all up..
This is a fact..(i wasn't along) sheesh lucky you forgot the ( ) thing.. I'd try to spell it but spell checks busted... (on a roll now) They get out to the site, and find that DEA just used a rake to clean up the mota.. Buddy got about 3 lbs from the deal.. that was back in the share days to..
