Someone asked if this bird exists, the answer is yes.  The Air Force is
going to be equipping with the F15E and according to a recent press conference
with our head honchos, will replace F15's that we sell/give to Saudi Arabia.
In fact as *I* understood the press conference, many of the current F15
C and D models that we just flew over there will STAY there with the
Saudis, and our pilots will have F15E's waiting for them when they get
back.

I don't have specific info right in front of me, but the E model is 
supposed to be an improved bird pretty much all the way around.

Perhaps if one of the other contributors has the poop on it they could
post it....
