- The nickname 40 Seconds, gained by upgrading the F-15C Eagle to Lv.15, refers to Col. John "40 Seconds" Boyd, a USAF fighter pilot and strategist whose energy-manuverability theories helped in developing the F-15. During his career as an instructor pilot, Boyd claimed that, starting from a position of disadvantage in a dogfight, he could outmanuever his opponent turning his disadvantageous position into an advantageous one within 40 seconds, hence his nickname.
- Related to the previous is the nickname Aircraft Mafia, gained by upgrading the F-16C Fighting Falcon to Lv.15. It refers to the "Fighter Mafia", a group of officers and civilian consultants within the USAF in the 1970's, who advocated for Boyd's energy-maneuverability theory as the base for the design of then future fighter aircraft. They claimed that the F-15 was still too large, heavy and expensive as a fighter, and pushed for the development of a smaller design, which ultimately resulted into the F-16.
