Two F-15EX jets are to be delivered next year and the 40th FLTS will have the honor of taking the first aircraft. Second aircraft will be assigned to the 85th TES.

“This represents years of iterative design and battle proven technologies. The 40th FLTS, a squadron full of developmental testers, is ready to meet the challenge of testing America’s newest fighter,” says Maj. Brett Hughes, 40th FLTS lead F-15EX DT pilot.
