Welcome to my free coloring pages blog.
The new drawing I did for today is of a pair of F-15EX Eagle II jet fighters.
F-15EX Eagle II
The F-15 is a very successful fighter that has been in service for several decades. The latest version is just now being made. It is called the F-15EX Eagle II. It is very fast and can carry a larger payload of missiles and bombs than the F-15E Strike Eagle. Like the Strike Eagle, the Eagle II is a two-seater withal one seat occupied by the pilot and one occupied by the weapons officer.
The F-15 Eagle II is almost 64 feet long. It has a wingspan of almost 42 feet. It is almost 18 and 1/2 feet tall. It has two General Electric engines with afterburners that can give it 29,000 lbs of thrust with a top speed of around 2.5 Mach.
The F-15 is flown by several countries and the EX version will also be flown by those same countries.
I drew the namesake Bald Eagle with the aircraft because it looks cool that way. My grandson looked at the picture and I told him that the F-15EX Eagle II can fly very fast. He asked if it could fly even faster than an eagle and I said yes and my grandson was very impressed!
There is one funny thing about this new fighter's name. The name "F-15EX Eagle II" looks a lot like the following: "F-1SEX Eagle II," although I don't think that was done on purpose. I think they should rethink the name. Maybe "F-15XE Eagle II?"
NOTE: This drawing, in printable form, is found by clicking on the button labeled Vehicles and Military Vehicles. Then scroll to the bottom of the list. I am posting down below this paragraph a few other drawings of fighter aircraft flown in the past. These drawings are from previous posts.
