Northrop F-15 Reporter

Northrop F-15 Reporter (kemudian RF-61) adalah pesawat bersayap tinggi untuk melakukan pengintaian fotografi ak bersenjata. Pesawat ini dibuat berdasarkan pesawat tempur malam Northrop P-61 Black Widow. Pesawat ini merupakan pesawat pengintai fotografi bertenaga piston terakhir yang dirancang dan diproduksi untuk Angkatan Udara Amerika Serikat.^[1]

Meskipun diproduksi dalam jumlah terbatas, dan dengan kehidupan pelayanan yang relatif pendek, foto udara F-15 di Semenanjung Korea membuktikan kejadian penting pada tahun 1950, ketika Korea Utara menyerbu daerah selatan.^[2]
