It's no F-15.

Prior to 1991, when McDonnell Douglas ended its program after accomplishing their flight objectives, the F-15 STOL/MTD achieved some impressive performance results:

 

Demonstrated vectored takeoffs with rotation at speeds as low as 42 mph (68 km/h)

a 25-percent reduction in takeoff roll

landing on just 1,650 ft (500 m) of runway compared to 7,500 ft (2,300 m) for the standard F-15

thrust reversal in flight to produce rapid decelerations

controlled flight at angles of attack up to about 85 degrees
