Also some details of the cockpit that you can see if you really know what to look for and the burner cans (although those are the same as the B).

I don't remember the subtle differences betwixt the A and the A Plus...and I missed the "double chin" and the burner cans. kinda tough to look inside the cockpit Last edited by jorgeI; 02/01/12.

The D had the burner cans of the B (GE110-429 motors!) but all the avionics were different. New radar (basically an F-15E radar with more power and a bigger antenna), MFDs, a real HUD, Link-16, ASPJ (antennas in place of the leading edge extensions), and a long range IRST (hence the double chin pod). Ejection seats were the NACES as well and look different. No loops on top of the seat. There is also a box that sticks up in front of the back seat. It was for slaving the Radar, TCS and IRST to each other in creative ways.
