The F-15D is the two-seat version of the F-15C. A total of 61 F-15Ds were built for the USAF, eight for Israel, 12 for Japan (as F-15DJs), and 16 for Saudi Arabia. The F-15D is dimensionally identical to the F-15C, and carries the same electronics suite suite and armament fit. It has essentially the same performance as well. However, the F-15D does not have any provision for the internal ALQ-135 ECM system.
The first F-15D (78-0056) took off on its maiden flight on June 19, 1979.
F-15Ds for export customers were not fitted with the EWWS or TEWS.
