While looking at pictures to help prepare myself for making an F-15I I found that the aircraft and lots of F-15E's have a change to the shape of the fairing between the engine nozzles when the engines which I assume happened when there was the change from feathered exhausts to non feathered exhausts. Can anyone direct me to a source of photographs or can send me some that show the area between engine exhausts on the non feathered aircraft.
Thanks in advance

The only thing I know of is that the fairing that covers the rear of the arrestor hook was removed some time ago on US birds. The F-15I, even though the exhausts are feathered, have the fairing removed also.
Exactly the type of picture I was looking for Dave.
Just one question, that looks like a vertical plate that replaces the fairing, can you confirm if it is please as its a little difficult to tell from the pics which are just wonderful.
Thanks in advance

Looks like the same plate as on US F-15s.

Absolutely fantastic detail shot Dave. If I had managed to find thous pictures on the net I would not have had to ask here as they are just the kind of picture I was looking for. Many thanks.

Nice set of pictures. Thats the first time I have seen pictures of an operational F-15C with CFT's. The picture of the tial hook also shows some detail that I didn't have from other photographs so thank you.
