Why is the F15 so good

Great thrust
Good pilot view
Good radar
Good weapons
Great pilot training
Better supersonic maneuverability then most
Good range & payload

The F-15 SG/K are the best types built now the SG have the more powerful engines, still is very capable fighter.

The improvements of the F-15SE (Silent Eagle) makes me wonder if the F-35A is really needed? While there is debated about the dog-fighting ability of the F-35A, the aerial combat ability is well proven. Some new aircraft have better maneuverability (Typhoon, Rafale, Su-30MKI, etc.) the F-35 type avionics along with the proven performance abilities of the F-15E should provide F-15 owners/users with an upgrade that will be competitive for a long time to come. Plus, the F-15SE could be delivered at a far earlier date of operation.
