Boeing expects to deliver the USAF's next F-15EX Eagle II fighter by the end of November, nearly a year after the company originally planned and four months behind its revised estimate.
Boeing’s director of F-15 business development, said in a Thursday interview with Defense News that production for the fourth F-15EX is complete, and its delivery will follow shortly after the third.
He also acknowledged that Boeing’s F-15EX production has not been as quick as the company wanted, and that the Air Force has expressed its displeasure with the pace and production problems. So any potential export customer should expect many years of waiting until their first F-15EXs will be delivered.
Boeing's new timeline to deliver the next F-15EX comes nearly a year after the firm originally planned, and four months behind its revised estimate.
