Since the F-16 picked up this role it was not proceded with. Just to nitpick, are you sure that wasn't one of the very early TF-15As serving as a Strike Eagle demonstrator? TF-15A? I believe you would be referring to the F-15B. Brooks The first few 2 seater F-15s were disignated TF-15A. I was in the 1st TFW when the F-15 came on line and they were called that. I have no idea when the were redesignated F-15B. That occurred in October 1978 Which was well before HARM came online (1983). Though to be honest I never knew that they once referred to the two seaters as anything but B (or later D and E) models in USAF service (I was a kid near Langley AFB when the 1st TFW stood up with the Eagle, and can't actually recall the use of the TF designation, but that was a looong time ago!). Thanks for the historical note. Brooks |
