In the late 1960s, Air Force strategists were worried that the latest generation of Soviet fighters might challenge America's advantage in the air. The F-15 was designed to answer that threat, and the plane has proved so successful that it is still in service today, more than thirty years after the first test flight.

From the original plans to the skies over Iraq in the second Gulf War, HEAVY METAL tells the complete story of the extraordinarily rugged and maneuverable fighter that can climb to the height of Mount Everest in just one minute!

Strap in for an exhilarating ride in the latest generation of the long-serving fighter, and hear from the pilots who have flown it in combat.
