Last time I looked, the F-15E was a 2-seat fighter comprising a pilot and a Weapon Systems Operator. After flying the F-4, also comprising a pilot and a Weapon Systems Operator, I get tired of only one crewmember getting the credit for flying this magnificant machine. The only way this multi-role fighter can accomplish the job it was designed for is with the combined crew.
