Which branches of the military use F15s?

Hey everyone! I'm extremely fascinated by aircraft, especially military ones like the F15s. Could anybody enlighten me on this - which branches of the military currently use F15s? I'm contemplating joining the military after high school and it would be awesome if I could serve in a branch that uses these amazing planes.

The F-15, also referred to as the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle, is an American air superiority fighter aircraft. It's primarily used by the United States Air Force (USAF). One slightly different variant called the F-15E Strike Eagle, which is a strike fighter version of the F-15, is also used by the USAF, primarily for ground-attack missions.

The Air National Guard, a reserve component of the USAF, also operates the F-15 for air defense missions on the home front. These are the two components of the US military that use the F-15.

Do keep in mind, though, joining a specific branch of the military just to work on or fly a particular aircraft may not guarantee you the experience you're seeking. Your final placement and role are determined by various factors including your aptitude, interests, capabilities, and the needs of the military.

Whether you can fly the F-15 will depend on your performance in pilot training, your physical health (including meeting vision requirements), the needs of the Air Force, and somewhat on luck and timing. Note that pilot training and becoming a fighter pilot are very selective processes, and not every pilot gets to fly fighter jets like the F-15.

If you aspire to be in aviation maintenance, you might have a higher chance of working on an F-15, but you would still need to excel in your training program and be assigned to a unit that uses F-15s - again, this is highly dependent on the needs of the military.Additionally, it's important to mention that the F-15s are some of the older aircraft currently in the USAF inventory. While they continue to receive upgrades and have proven to be highly effective aircraft, it is possible that by the time you join the military, newer aircraft may be more prevalent.

You can definitely state your preference to work with F-15s, but be aware the military commitments can last many years while your specific role and assignments may shift over time. It's best to speak with a military recruiter who can discuss realistic possibilities based on your skills, interests and the current military needs.
