Combat Aircraft Journal March 2017

Our cover story for the March issue of Combat Aircraft is the F-15E Strike Eagle and its 30th anniversary of operations with the USAF. The 366th Fighter Wing at Mountain Home AFB is our feature unit, with an exclusive interview and images. The issue also takes a look behind-the-scants at NAS Fallon, Nevada during a carrier air wing deployment. With the USAF having officially launched its project to replace the E-8 Joint STARS we look at the alternatives on offer, plus a report on Russian MiG-31s in the Russian Far East, Israeli F-16A retirement, T-6 Texan II in detail, Spanish fighters and Italian Breguet Atlantic operations.
