Is this still in use? What branch of the military uses it?--Stang281 17:54, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Isn't it called F-15 ACTIVE?83.244.99.250 17:10, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
- The plane was used for the F-15S/MTD project, then in the F-15 ACTIVE project, and is now currently being used for the F-15 IFCS project. I added some information in the article, as well as specs for the F-15 ACTIVE to clear up the confusion. If anyone wants to improve it, go ahead. Some people might be confused because Namco mis-labeled the F-15S/MTD as the F-15 ACTIVE in the game Ace Combat 4. --[User:zeroyon] 8:44, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure the picture of this plane is not actually of this plane; it's an edited picture, if I remember correctly.
[edit] Corrected image
The original black and white image was the work of photographic fakery. It showed the plane in a cammo paint scheme even though the F-15 STOL/MTD was part of the NASA ACTIVE program, not a military program. And it also showed F-22-like pitch-axis thrust vectoring nozzles, whereas the F-15 STOL had pitch-yaw-axis nozzles. I wonder why they went with pitch-only on the F-22. Cost? Reliability? ROI? --JJLatWiki 23:12, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
