The order for the F-15X came before the 2nd 737 crash.
Teh fact is that the US (and not just them) put too much faith and
money on "stealth stealth stealth stealth"; end result, massively
expensive aicraft that take decades to come into service, by which
time much of their stealth tech is obsolete or close. And no service
can aford the numbers it needs.
Hence the "new" F-15. And why the F-16 is still going strong. With
upgrades, they are still outstanding aircraft.
