The F-15C uses Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-220 engines and the E uses the
-229.  That monstrosity from GE shouldn't be called an engine, it should
be called a high-speed fan blade dispenser.  I'm surprised that they can
find anyone to fly it - I'd demand a new engine vendor first. :)

The F-15A and early model C used the P&W F100-PW-100 engine.
