Ah... First everyone go check the site if you haven't already. Looks like sensei found a way to include Tomcat more: the F-15 Eagle *___*
It's late here so I'll try to translate later, but for a quick overview, the F-15 was developed by the Air Force almost simultaneously with the Navy's F-14 Tomcat. The F-15 was exported to a couple different ( Read more... )

Once I'm back in Okinawa in late July I could probably take a few orders for items since, because of the US military bases, we can still use cheap USPS priority shipping even in Japan :D

Though the spaces would be limited to whatever the store has in stock -__-

Can I ship with you? XDDD I was thinking it might be a hatesex relationship, but then now that I see F-15 properly, I'm wondering about that. 8'D

Ah, the F-15 was actually modified and suggested to replace the Tomcat many times (The Tomcat was considered more operationally dangerous iirc?) so they might not get along XD
An F-15 variant with foldable wings (like Tomcat's) was actually developed for carrier-based use o:

I remember in Tomcat's introduction, it was stated that he wants to punch F-15 in the face, so I'm assuming at least that Tommy boy doesn't really like Eagle. XD From F-15's appearence so far, though, it looks like the feelings might not be mutual?

Never realised that they were considering the F-15 as a replacement for Tomcat, though. I remember reading somewhere that the Tomcat was the heaviest plane to ever operate from a a carrier, so I guess it makes sense that they'd be looking for a lighter plane. XDD
