Trivia
- The F-15S is one of the first original aircraft designs to appear in the Ace Combat series, alongside the XB-10, XFA-27, and ADF-01.
- The F-15S's design is reminiscent of a fictional F-15 design featured in Patlabor 2: The Movie in 1993. Coincidentally, Macross creator Shōji Kawamori designed the aircraft in Patlabor 2 and would later design the ASF-X Shinden II.
