Based on @EngineerOtaku/Ded ‘s McDonnell-Douglas-F-15A-Oregon-ANG

(But, sadly, he removed his planes.The first airplane I downloaded was his F18.It's a wonderful plane.All his planes impressed me)

The McDonnell Douglas F-15 STOL/MTD (Short Takeoff and Landing/Maneuver Technology Demonstrator) is a modified F-15 Eagle. Developed as a technology demonstrator, the F-15 S/MTD carried out research for studying the effects of thrust vectoring and enhanced maneuverability.The aircraft used in the S/MTD program has flown several times since the successful S/MTD program completion in 1991 that used thrust vectoring and canard foreplanes to improve low-speed performance. This aircraft tested high-tech methods for operating from a short runway. This F-15 was part of an effort to improve ABO (Air Base Operability), the survival of warplanes and fighting capability at airfields under attack.Prior to 15 August 1991,when McDonnell Douglas ended its program after accomplishing their flight objectives, the F-15 S/MTD plane achieved some impressive performance results:

Demonstrated vectored takeoffs with rotation at speeds as low as 42 mph (68 km/h)
A 25-percent reduction in takeoff roll
Landing on just 1,650 ft (500 m) of runway compared to 7,500 ft (2,300 m) for the standard F-15
Thrust reversal in flight to produce rapid deceleration

The McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) F-15E Strike Eagle is an American all-weather multirole strike fighter[8] derived from the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle. The F-15E was designed in the 1980s for long-range, high-speed interdiction without relying on escort or electronic-warfare aircraft. United States Air Force (USAF) F-15E Strike Eagles can be generally distinguished from other US Eagle variants by darker aircraft camouflage, conformal fuel tanks (CFTs) mounted along the engine intake ramps (although CFTs can also be mounted on earlier F-15 variants) and a tandem-seat cockpit.

The Strike Eagle has been deployed for military operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and Libya, among others. During these operations, the strike fighter has carried out deep strikes against high-value targets and combat air patrols, and provided close air support for coalition troops. It has also been exported to several countries.
