The F-15D is the two-seat version of the F-15C.  A total of 61
F-15Ds were built for the USAF, eight for Israel, 12 for Japan
(as F-15DJs), and 16 for Saudi Arabia.  The F-15D is dimensionally
identical to the F-15C, and carries the same electronics suite
suite and armament fit.  It has essentially the same performance
as well.
