A cool graphic comparing the size of a WWII B-17 bomber (green) with a modern F-15C fighter (red). It’s amazing how today’s fighters are almost as big and heavy as four-engine heavy bombers of the past.
I didn't realize how big an F-15 is! A B-17 carried between 4,000 to 8,000 pounds of ordinance, an F-15 (depends on the model) between 15,000 and 29,000 pounds of ordinance.
