It's strange for me to look at an F-15 and suddenly see a slightly obsolescent looking aircraft instead of "the best and most modern fighter in the world", which it always was when I was a kid. It's still a highly capable machine, but when you look at it, it no longer screams "high tech wave of the future". Basic design is 50 years old almost. Of course I'm just getting used to the fact that cars that were the brand new models when I was in hgih school are now verging on being "Classics". It's like "how can anything with a 2000" in front of it be a 'classic car'?" I understand better how when my dad talks about the '66 Mustang coupe he used to have, to him it was just an old sports car. To me, a '66 Mustang is like a legend.
What you said is kind of true and understable, however with proper upgrade programs at times classic aircrafts can keep on flying. Fun fact, the US air force is going to buy newly built F-15EX which is a brand new variant based on the Strike Eagle airframe and comes with better radar, avionics, weapon payload and variety and many more improvements! It is most likely the F-15EX is going to be bought and used by many other countries in the near future as well, Saudi Arabia already ordered their own version already. The Legendary Eagle will fly on for many more decades which makes me happy!! :))
if you think that the F15's service life is long, look at the B-52- that thing is going to see 100 years of use now, after the upgrade program a few years ago
Way larger than you'd expect. These things are supposed to fly which makes you believe it'll be relatively small, no, they're massive. Even single engine fighters are huge!

우리나라(대한민국)의 강력한 전투기인 F-15K와 시제기 최종 조립에 착수한 차기 한국형 전투기 KFX가 일본의 F-15J를 비롯한 F-2를 빠르게 제압할 것입니다! + F-15K는 차후 F-15EX로 개량될 예정이고, KFX는 Block I / II / III 개량을 통해 완전한 5세대 스텔스 전투기가 될 것입니다! ( * 사실은 저는 전범국가인 일본이 강력한 다목적 전투기인 F-15를 가지고 있는 것 자체를 이해할 수 없습니다. )
