F-15SA(Saudi Advanced) 0633 of the Royal Saudi Air Force U.S. serial 12-1073, is one of 84 aircraft acquired from Boeing using the U.S. intergovernmental FMS (Foreign Military Sales) sales program. The newer variant of the F-15 features fly-by-wire instead of digital electronic control systems and many other advanced features. The "0" in front of the RSAF serials was an error and will be removed at some point. F-15SA 0633 is assigned to the recently formed 29th Squadron based at the King Faisal AFB, Tabuk.

Boeing F-15SA Eagle

Designed to meet US Air Force requirements for an air superiority fighter to replace the F-4 Phantom, the F-15 Eagle first flew on July 27, 1972. The Air Force needed a fighter that could engage long range targets, a skill the F-4 did not possess. The F-15 has a pulse-Doppler radar system, which can track small high-speed targets up to 120 nautical miles away and can lock its missile onto targets up to 50 nautical miles away. With more than 100 aerial combat victories, the F-15 is said to be one of the most successful modern fighters. It is expected to remain in service until 2025.
