KEY INTELLIGENCE TAKEAWAYS & SUMMARY
- Operational F-15EX Eagle II aircraft belonging to the 142nd Wing of the Oregon Air National Guard took to the skies with the CFT configuration for the first time.
- Conformal fuel tanks (CFTs) provide aircraft with range advantages as well as an additional six-pylon capacity.
- Although the US Air Force initially did not plan for CFTs for fighter jets, changes in operational doctrine and increasing range requirements led to the reconsideration of this decision.
