F15E, Ambrosini

According to Jane's 1970/1, the F15E prototype I-PROM was acquired, after its first flight 1968-12-16, by Ambrosini who renamed it the Ambrosini NF 15 and were carrying out final trials prior to certification and production. JAWA say that this aircraft had plywood covered, wooden sparred wings with an aluminium skin, but it does say (without further elaboration) that its structural description applies to the prototype, implying that the (then unbuilt) production machines might be different. Perhaps these were the all-metal 15Es referred to in this Wiki article?TSRL (talk) 20:26, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Follow-up: JAWA 81/2 says I-PROM was the prototype F15E, though they now have it with all metal wings.TSRL (talk) 20:10, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

The F15 A end B were built with wood covered with meral , but the F15-E and F were different, first are all metal and they are a little bigger then the original F15 plus they had wing tip tank installed  ! Rcortelletti (talk) 07:33, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

F15F

What is the source saying this is a two seater? It's not Jane's Encyclopedia, nor is it in Simpson's later Airlife's World Aircraft. Jane's all the World's Aircraft 81/2 has a brief article on it, alongside one on the F15E, but does not say two seater. All agreed on bubble canopy and 200 hp IO-360-A1B1.TSRL (talk) 20:07, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Photos of the cockpit show only two seats with a solid bulkhead behind them.--Petebutt (talk) 03:01, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
