F-15J Eagle 
A variant of the F-15C. The J-model is under licensed production in its country of operation where the craft's weapons and finer details have been tweaked to suit that nation's own political and military circumstances. However, the designs are fundamentally very similar to the original F-15C. Unique traits include the J/TEWS and a bilateral symmetrical vertical tail. The aircraft's missiles were initially manufactured by the developer's country, but this was later shifted to the deploying country to improve technical independence. The prototype F100-IHI-100 engine was used at first, but was changed later on to an F100-IHI-220E. This variant includes unique updates as well, such as the inclusion of a J/ASW-10, which receives data from the BADGE system. Having been made the subject of a Multi-Stage Improvement Program (MSIP), the aircraft has received continual upgrades to its computer, engine, weapons control system, and more. Like the F-15C, its nickname is "Eagle."

Flight model
The raw flight data from the game files (campaign version). Speeds are in km/h. The other numbers use the game's own units. The values keep the game's field names, because what most of them do is still unknown. Under Stability and Defense are the fields that match those in-game bars best. Mobility matches the rotation rates. How the game calculates the bars is unknown.
The game's curve points for this aircraft are out of order (a lower speed follows a higher one); they are drawn as stored.
