F-15I loadout

Whatever you need.

You want an iron lorry? Full with Mk.82?

More exquisite with AGM-154?

Which sortie?

Let me know!

Never to forget the self-defense Python 4 or 5 and AIM-120.

Let me know!

Hallo

 

Python 4 or 5: Externaly Identically? I do not know! I asume, there are at least some markings different, for the loadmaster!

 

Here are some examples. From the magazine Kne Mida, from IPMS Israel.

 

Maybe it helps!

Yes, they are for the Baz. That is F-15A,B,C,D. All are possible at the F-15I.

Note: The Navigation and targeting pods are usually always on! This decreases the flight envelope drastically!

If a sortie is save, they are taken home. Otherwise they would have droped.

There exists flown sorties full with Mk.82 execpt the 2 pods and 4 AIM.

Today usually withe 2 Python 4 or 5 and 2 AIM 120. Python always most outerwing on the wing station, 120 inboard at the wing station.

Pythons need more care when loaded!

Happy modelling

Which sortie?

Precission guidedwith AGM-154 is not that you want?

Carpet iron bombing? Mk.82 on every pylon on the CFT and outboard fuselage.

Or you want GBUs: GBU-10 or GBU-12 or GBU-15 or GBU-32?

For GBU-15 you need AN/AXQ-14 data link pod.

I hope there is something for your target!

Position on station:

Front fuselage outboard and CFT front. Eventually wing pylon. So maximum load (depending on GBU) 6!

All front. The GBU-15 is something special, but it is omitted in your case.

Never forget AIM: 2 120s and 2 Pythons!

Depending on range: External fuel on wing pylon and leve one GBU at home. You can fly assymetric!

The centerline tank is just seldom used.

And your 2 pods!

Ready?

I'm not sure the targeting / nav pods on the Strike Eagle are jettisonable, even if the pilot would want to explain to the brass why he elected to toss away a few million dollars worth of sensitive electronics over enemy territory... 😎
