An F-15E Strike Eagle pilot demonstrates the aircraft's maneuverability April 9, 2011, during the Charleston Air Expo at Joint Base Charleston S.C. The F-15E is a multirole fighter capable of air-to-surface and air-to-air combat. (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class James Richardson)
4/19/2011 5:17:06 PM ET Last time I looked, the F-15E was a 2-seat fighter comprising a pilot and a Weapon Systems Operator. After flying the F-4, also comprising a pilot and a Weapon Systems Operator, I get tired of only one crewmember getting the credit for flying this magnificant machine. The only way this multi-role fighter can accomplish the job it was designed for is with the combined crew.
