Aviation Geek Club: Boeing to deliver first two F-15EX Fighters as soon as 2020
This is possible due to the fact the F-15EX has a lot of similarities with the F-15QA Advanced Eagle that is in production for Qatar.
Boeing says it can deliver the U.S. Air Force (USAF) at least two engineering, versions manufacturing and development (EMD) F-15EX fighters as early as 2020.
This is possible due to the fact the F-15EX has a lot of similarities with the F-15QA Advanced Eagle that is in production for Qatar. So there is a possibility that some aircraft destined for Qatar could be rerouted to the USAF. The EX can be seen as a modified version of the QA of which Qatar ordered 36 (with an option on another 36) in a USD 6,2 billion contract signed in 2017. According to Scramble Facebook News Magazine, Qatar expects six F-15QA’s will be delivered to its air force by March 2021. And these first deliveries follow the final deliveries of the last of 84 F-15SAs to Saudi Arabia by the end of 2019. It is also possible that Israel will buy additional Eagles, so the Eagle production line will be running for many years to come.
