I doubt it's even illegal to have an F-15. It's just that the AF owns most of them and won't sell them to you, and the manufacturers only produce them under contract and won't sell to you either.
(actually just looked it up and you can buy old jetfighters online)
Considering brand new f15-Es run around the 138 million mark and the jet fuels it burns through is not cheap. The couple of thousand in bs Destructive Device tax stamps is probably the cheapest cost associated for a civilian to own one with the weapons.
Would the aircraft count as one DD, or would the ATF demand a stamp for every pylon?
Someone should write tech branch and ask what is the controlled part on a F15.

Yeah but you have to register every AMRAAM with the ATF as a Destructive Device and pay for a $200 tax stamp. Who can afford that?
