The Air Force's two F-15EX Super Eagle fighters participated in the Northern Edge 21 wargame this month in Alaska.
It "shot down some adversaries and was shot down itself" during the joint exercises.
The service is still figuring out how to use the new, non-stealthy fighter in combat.
The U.S. Air Force's first two F-15EX Super Eagle fighters flew to Alaska this month to participate in the Northern Edge 21 wargame—to mixed results.
During the joint multi-service exercise, the two planes flew 33 sorties (or dispatches), while paired up with a variety of active duty planes, including F-15C Eagles, F-16 Fighting Falcons, F-35 Joint Strike Fighters, and F-22 Raptors.
