    I wonder why it has to be an F-15. This mentioned 100 lb payloads.

    I wonder if a larger plane could reach the same altitude with a larger payload?

      I'm guessing it has to be supersonic and capable of a high ceiling. Not sure there's anything much bigger than an F-15 or F-16 that meets those criteria. Now if they hadn't retired the SR-71...
