And BTW, not even Boeing is proposing such a thing for their F-15. The latest Boeing proposal for the F-15 is NOT to fit F-35 systems on it, but to fit a compatible datalink onto it and enable it to carry even larger numbers of stand off weapons than the E version now carries. Basically, they are proposing to make the F-15 the arsenal plane USAF has been talking about for a while now to accompany the F-35 and give it more firepower.

Interesting Ken, I didn't know Boeing built F35 sensors...
