I have an utterly stupid question. What is the difference between
these two fighters? From a distance, they look exactly the same.




Just looking at the rear of each plane,the F-15 has it's tailpipes inboard
of the rudders,while the F-14 has the rudders right over the tailpipes.

The F-15 has a clipped delta wing,while the F-14 has swingwings.

F-14 is a carrier-based interceptor,while the F-15 is a fixed runway air
superiority fighter(-E version also ground attack)
