F-15 Eagle

The  is a single seat, twin engine, all weather, air superiority and tactical fighter designed to gain and maintain air superiority in aerial combat. It has a strike derivative variant known as F-15E Strike Eagle or F-15 Strike EagleFX.

Singleplayer
The F-15 Eagle is commonly seen in Campaign, most notably providing Close-Air Support in "Team Player" and performing SEAD operations during the assault on the Gulag during the mission "The Only Easy Day... Was Yesterday"



Multiplayer
In Modern Warfare 2, the F-15 Eagle appears in multiplayer as a killstreak reward. Three F-15 Eagles are unlocked as a 6-kill killstreak, the Precision Airstrike. This airstrike is directional and calls in three F-15s to cluster bomb an area, similar to the Call of Duty 4 version. Unlike the Stealth bomber, the F-15s will show up (but will not be announced) since F-15's do not have stealth technology.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

 * All F-15s in the game bear the tail code "IW4" on their vertical stabilizers. The code usually identifies a plane's unit or base assignment, but since "IW4" is not in use by any of those entities, it clearly refers to the game's engine.
 * The F-15s in many different levels (such as "Exodus", "The Only Easy Day... Was Yesterday" and others) have no visible pilots.
 * On the PC, if the player no-clips in "The Only Easy Day... Was Yesterday " under the F-15 Eagle the landing gear is still deployed.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

 * In the introductory cutscene to the Modern Warfare 3 level "Hunter Killer", the subtitles refer to an F-22 pilot, call sign Lightning 1-1. However, the graphics in the scene depict F-15s labeled Lightning 1-1, delivering ordinance on Russian defenses in New York City.
 * Occasionally airborne F-15s are an on-ground model with the landing gear down and the canopy open.
