F-4, F-18, AV8B, T-45, F-15’s mostly F-15’s did just about everything to them from preflights & postflights, fuel maintenance to flight controls landing gear engine runner etc. when I left there the planes already had the fly by wire flight controls. The F-15 is a great plane!
My brother-in-law flew the F-15E. When he retired, he had more combat hours than anyone, with four wars. It's an amazing plane. He was stationed at Lakenheath TWICE (for a total of 9 years). LN 320 - WARDO! We love and miss him every day.

I had a nice visit with my Uncle-in-law September 2021. He currently flies for South West. He's a retired Airforce Lt. Cornel. He was an F16 pilot, F16 instructor and a test pilot. The guy is great company and has some great stories.
We were there in 1962-64 when I was a kid, dad was crew chief for the alert hangers. Once in a while I would make sure that he 'forgot' his lunch, and was able to get a ride over to the hangers so he wouldn't starve. They'd let me sit in the 102's and 106's for a few minutes (after making sure all was disarmed!). For the filming of the movie 'The Longest Day', an ME-109 was ferried through Keflavik and was housed in one of the A hangers (real windy there!). I got to sit in the cockpit, and what a thrill!
My Pop did a tour there from 1977-79. I went to A.T. Mahon elementary school there 4th and 5th grade. Still remember the roar of F-4 Phantoms taking off in pairs. Good times. Fun fact, Tom Clancy's "Red Storm Rising" has the Russians taking over our base in Keflavik...and the Russians set up their command post in the A.T. Mahon elementary school since it was right across the road and a ball field from the airstip.
It depends on in which you are pilot .in countries like Iceland and Canada you are completely safe .but in countries in saudi or US you will end up in lot trouble for some stupid politician and his policies
I met a Colonel who used to fly F-16 and he said that while it was a lot of fun to fly Fighters but for every hour you fly, you spend 2 - 3 hours debriefing. That was not fun because you go over every detail of the mission for hours and hours. Then you have to document them on endless forms and paperwork. Reality is never as sexy as the mystique.
Isn't it wild? The U.S. military has put out more orders for freshly built F-15EX's as well. Some I believe may have already been built. Their scrambling ability is why too. The U.S. military wants to get there first. Which is a huge advantage considering it has other abilities as well.

Back in 83-84 I was stationed in Keflavik Iceland. Many times the F4 Phantoms would scramble to meet the Russian Bear Bombers doing their narrow passage near Iceland headed to the US East coast. Sometimes 4 or more in full afterburner would take off at once. It was a Real World mission every time. Thankfully they never had to fire a shot. Freedom isn't Free, you have to pay with Blood, Sweat & Tears.
I was stationed at Rockville in 68/69. Kef at that time had F-102's. Same situation with the Bears, Bisons and subs. Not sure if Rockville is still an operational NATO site.
@@davidwilson4337 I believe everything closed back in 92 or so...I remember everything in Rockville would BEEP every 10 seconds or so due to rhe high power radar. AFRTS, audio and video tape was also affected. The people there said they got use to the BEEP.
I was stationed in Keflavik October 84 to October 85 with AFI. My one time at the alert barn was when me and another guy were sent there to pick up a safe. Up above the door that the pilots went out of to the flightline was a framed picture from the Clint Eastwood movie Dirty Harry. It was the one with him pointing his 44 magnum handgun saying "Go ahead, make my day". It was very noticeable and fit in perfectly as the last thing that fighter pilots would see when scrambling outside to escort Russian aircraft out of their airspace.
I served in the 57Fis from 91-94 (Avionics troop). Our alert birds lauchsd much quicker back then and we also went full verticle after take-off. Also miss the heck out of hearing that JFS fire up with the high pitch howel midway. F-15 will.always be my favorite bird! Good news is that weather was decent enough to shoot this video though. Nothing compares to an Icandic whiteout! Loved Iceland! Would love to go back and visit. After watching this, I'm now signing out and I ops ck good. IAW 1F-15c-2-31JG-30-1.😊
He is wearing an exposure suit under the flight suit so he can survive an ejection into the North Atlantic. Think heavy duty diving suit with wrist and neck seals. Real pain to wear.
I was deployed to Iceland twice during my service in the Navy. I was attached to an ASW Squadron that rotated to NAS Keflavik a couple of times a year as part of NATO forces. I don't think the AF was stationed there at that time. I never saw AF aircraft or personal anywhere on base at that time. ('73>'77) The Navy maintained a few F4s on base to patrol Icelandic airspace at the time. They were getting old then but would still roar when taking off. You'd hear them from all over the base!
@@MrGoodnplenty1957 No shit...Either this guy is lying or has no clue what was there..There were F-4's from the 57th FIS parked everywhere including the Alert barn...I know because I was in the 57th FIS known as the Black Nights.
So many people in these comments underestimating just how quick it is to have a craft go from sitting on the ground not having a pilot to ceiling altitude in 10 minutes. That is insanely quick!
@@NiquidFox don't insure anybody anything. Even during 9/11 it took 45 minutes for Interceptor aircraft to come alongside Air Force One for protection. Americans are all full of hot air exaggerations but when it comes to facts and the truth.....🤣

I think one of those two planes is actually famous…note the 2 stars in the fuselage. I think those are Iraqi kills from the first Gulf War. Saw on interview with the pilot who got both on C.W. Lemoine’s channel, and that plan was still in service. The pilot (since retired) had a third kill in another plane.
Since the the plane has the 2 green stars I wonder if the pilot who scored the kills had 2 green stars tattooed on his body since he has the plane no more.

For me, it's the best looking fighter plane, I dont care if it's old. And I think it holds the record for most kills and least destroyed. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
I’m sad too. If we had built the proper number of F-22s I would think that we don’t need the newest model of F-15 but now I think we need to build more F-15s. The F-35 is not a dog fighter & it’s has a very limited payload. The F-15s would handle anything Russia has.

Lol that's about as fast as it gets. You can't just skip a step and then be up in the air before realizing "oh shit my ailerons don't work". Gotta do all your functional checks. Not as simple as a car where you just turn the key and go.
Even though the design is 50 years old, it is such a solid design for it's role that F-15's are still in production today with updated engines, avionics, software, etc. So that is not not a cold war jet they are flying. And that's a Ford Transit, not a Nissan.
My dad told a story about "alpha" aircraft on the flight line which meant the few aircraft prepped for quick launch. At the base relevant to this story, 2 F4s, one C141, one KC135. Apparently, no one is to approach the alpha craft without express authorization. He was told to go load or Check something and clearance was already arranged. Was not 30 feet from the vehicle he road out there on before an SP dropped him to the ground. He told it better of course. God rest his soul now.
I was an SP at KISawyer, and guys regularly got in trouble for slowing down crews who were trying to scramble. It was ALWAYS a training exercise. We had an elaborate system that we were supposed to use with a daily code number that we would flash to the crew as they drove past. And they didn’t always get it right, but we would get hollered at for delaying things. That was only on the A Ramp. On the C Ramp, they had more time to figure it out. I don’t remember ever having to apprehend anyone.
@@JamieSmith-fz2mz Thanks for sharing. SAC base, bombers, Right? We were always on MAC bases except the couple of times we were on Army or joint bases. My dad's experience was somewhere between 1968 and 1972 serving Vietnam conflict.
@@JamieSmith-fz2mz That's why you train like you fight, and fight like you train. We were going though an IG inspection when we were in a simulated "duress situation." The crew person gave the SP (SF, or Security Forces) the duress word, with the IG person the simulated hostage taker. The SF guys jacked up the crew dog and let the simulated hostage taker through. Had a laugh afterwards about that one (well we did, not the SF guys). I think that's what makes the USAF so successful, is constant drills. I know in my years in uniform, that if we ever went to war, we'd be ready.
I have watched the BUFFs alert a number of times from the flight line, they all ran to the bombers from the ready room. I got to close to a nuke loaded B52 twice, to keep the guys trained, and got jacked. spread flat out face down with their rifle jammed into my back. it also happened out in the ICBM missile field. if you do the wrong things you are getting jacked by the QRT. I can't day anything more about it. same with the WSA
At first I thought this was about the 57th FIS then I saw the video quality...definitely not 80s! Haha. Still, good watch. I got very nostalgic hearing the JFS.
The checklist has its reasons. The distance between the aircraft and the ready room has its reasons. In a more tense situation perhaps pilots are taking turns sitting in the cockpit with engine start the next step on the checklist.
This f15 has 2, 6 inch green stars,with 1/2 inch black border Wich I do believe signifies that the aircraft has emerged victorious against an enemy jet.🇨🇦😷
Signifies two Desert Storm kills against Saddam's Iraqi Air Force fighters on 27 Jan 1991. One kill was a Mig23 and the other a Mirage F1. The victorious pilot was "Coma" Powell.
57th FIS? I was there 88-89 as a Marine, and one of our posts was the “Torpedo Shop” just off the runway. Loved watching y’all take off. Had one night when I think every swinging d*** scrambled, 2 abreast going high, low, left and right.
I was up there on a 2 week tanker rotation in the summer of '87. No intercepts but I got to do some sightseeing and went cod fishing with the AWACS crew. nearly sank the boat with all the fish we caught.
Американские базы где бы не находились , всегда имеют крутую богатую инфраструктуру вокруг, идеальное благоустройство, везде комфортно и красиво. ВВС США на совсем другом уровне с красивыми мощными самолетами и крутой экипировкой. После этого даже стыдно сравнивать страшный ржавый и допотопный ВВС России.
Просто американские самолёты более нежные и требуют ангара и обслуживания постоянного, все самолёты ВВС РФ могут стоять под чехлом, вместо ангара и требования к обслуживанию ниже. Это позволяет значительно расширить аэродромную сеть, открывая базы даже за полярным кругом.
They're based at RAF Lakenheath, England. Must be 'on loan' or deployment etc. The LN on the tail is the location identifier. I was stationed there with the F-111's from '85 to '91.

@@Ugasgit90 it was the best time of my entire life! I stayed for three years after I got out and still worked on base as a civilian. Lived in Swaffham. The UK is a second home to me, the most amazing country I've ever been to. I'd rather live there than in the states.
Ellsworth did the same drills as well. But they were putting bombers up in the air, one of my grade school memories, that long roar coming from the flightline.
It reminds me of tom clancy's novel red storm rising, the attack on iceland by the Russians Tu22M with AS4 missiles, with the scramble takeoff of the F-15 .... page 193 ... "hunter leader, free tracks ... intercept bandits. " Greetings.
In the US Navy, this aircrew would be considered alert 15 status (standby in the ready room). Alert 15 means you have 15 minutes to get airborne. Alert 5 status means you have 5 minutes to get airborne. The alert 5 aircrew would be sitting in the aircraft, itself, just short of starting up the engines, on standby, as a 2 hour watch.
Пока они быстро вылетали, я несколько раз ускорял их взлет проматыванием видео. За это время я успел заварить ролик, нарезать туда сосисок, намазать хлеб шкпиком и сделать чаек. Жаль... Не успел доесть ролик, самолет все таки взлетел....
Походу у них на вылет минут 15-20 уходит, пока оденет одежду, добежит до машины и доедет до ангара, потом будут минут 10-15 проверять. В принципе исландцам можно и полчаса взлетать, так как рядом угроз как таковых нет.
They develop heat very quickly, in fact it's the opposite. When you start an older turbine engine you are staring at the Turbine Outlet Temperature gauge to prevent a hot start, which may be around 700 degrees C. On modern engines, a computer does this for you.
they have no water, just engine oil and hydraulics... it is most likely in the green until they push it for take of, as they also have to taxi a little.. any increased wear will be accepted on the aircrafts that do the scramble thing. They might follow other procedures on other missions. Also I don´t know if anything is pre warmed in the hangar. Also engine oil in turbine engines is there to "just" lubricate and cool some roller type bearings, you can not compare that to a piston engine and turbine oils are very special fully synthetic (Ester) oils with an extreme temperature range
@@vaclavnoha5621 You mean at 0:51? I suspect he is checking or connecting the Aircraft Mounted Accessory Drive gearbox that enables the aircraft to start its engines using its Jet Fuel Starter. Maybe someone with airframe specific knowledge will be able to chime in on that one, I'm not too sure.
Love and respect, but I was surprised how slow the process was. From having to drive the pilots to the plane to the plane not being ready to fly immediately when they get there. Lots of opportunity to speed up the process but I guess it really doesn't matter.
At 00:48 we can see him running past the ladder and under the jet to do something with his hand inside the aircraft. Does anyone know what he is doing there and why the ground crew can‘t do this?
As an F-15 avionics technician who was stationed at Naval Air Station Keflavik during the cold war, I can honestly say Red Storm Rising comes very close to getting it right.
@@BlackBirdBlitz didn't Clancy get in trouble for coming to close to confidential information and the high command wanted to know where he got his infos from? Thought I read about something like that.

That is one beautiful plane!
You can't help but admire the beauty of the plane and the awesomeness of the pilot👍
Back in 83-84 I was stationed in Keflavik Iceland. Many times the F4 Phantoms would scramble to meet the Russian Bear Bombers doing their narrow passage near Iceland headed to the US East coast. Sometimes 4 or more in full afterburner would take off at once. It was a Real World mission every time. Thankfully they never had to fire a shot. Freedom isn't Free, you have to pay with Blood, Sweat & Tears.
I was stationed at Rockville in 68/69. Kef at that time had F-102's. Same situation with the Bears, Bisons and subs. Not sure if Rockville is still an operational NATO site.
@@davidwilson4337 I believe everything closed back in 92 or so...I remember everything in Rockville would BEEP every 10 seconds or so due to rhe high power radar. AFRTS, audio and video tape was also affected. The people there said they got use to the BEEP.
I was stationed in Keflavik October 84 to October 85 with AFI. My one time at the alert barn was when me and another guy were sent there to pick up a safe. Up above the door that the pilots went out of to the flightline was a framed picture from the Clint Eastwood movie Dirty Harry. It was the one with him pointing his 44 magnum handgun saying "Go ahead, make my day". It was very noticeable and fit in perfectly as the last thing that fighter pilots would see when scrambling outside to escort Russian aircraft out of their airspace.
Just spent much money
@@mihelson83 I fell asleep in the Blue Lagoon when I was in Iceland.
I served in the 57Fis from 91-94 (Avionics troop). Our alert birds lauchsd much quicker back then and we also went full verticle after take-off. Also miss the heck out of hearing that JFS fire up with the high pitch howel midway. F-15 will.always be my favorite bird! Good news is that weather was decent enough to shoot this video though. Nothing compares to an Icandic whiteout! Loved Iceland! Would love to go back and visit. After watching this, I'm now signing out and I ops ck good. IAW 1F-15c-2-31JG-30-1.😊
When he's running from the van to the jet, it looks like a toddler carrying a full load in his diaper.

It certainly wasn't dignified 🤣🤣
It's the ejection seat harness. Them bitches are tight.
He is wearing an exposure suit under the flight suit so he can survive an ejection into the North Atlantic. Think heavy duty diving suit with wrist and neck seals. Real pain to wear.
I was deployed to Iceland twice during my service in the Navy. I was attached to an ASW Squadron that rotated to NAS Keflavik a couple of times a year as part of NATO forces. I don't think the AF was stationed there at that time. I never saw AF aircraft or personal anywhere on base at that time. ('73>'77) The Navy maintained a few F4s on base to patrol Icelandic airspace at the time. They were getting old then but would still roar when taking off. You'd hear them from all over the base!

I think one of those two planes is actually famous…note the 2 stars in the fuselage. I think those are Iraqi kills from the first Gulf War. Saw on interview with the pilot who got both on C.W. Lemoine’s channel, and that plan was still in service. The pilot (since retired) had a third kill in another plane.
Since the the plane has the 2 green stars I wonder if the pilot who scored the kills had 2 green stars tattooed on his body since he has the plane no more.
I’m in the AirForce and actually maintain the F-15C. Can confirm that’s what the stars mean. There’s one at my unit that shot down a couple of migs
that's awesome
@@davidgriffith5692 2023?
There’s actually one that has a helo kill, we see it come through from time to time.
An older jet that is still one of the best in the world. To my knowledge,,, the F-15 has never lost a dog fight.
its not only about the jets. its also about the pilots.

What was inside the small access door the pilot had to check? Being an alert fighter was that a master power or APU switch?
The first plane with that switch was B1, the pilot pushes It AND the plane starts
By the way, the ground crew did an excellent job!
Sad to see the USAF retire the C Model from active duty. 103-0 in dogfights. A supreme combat warrior for almost 50 years.
I’m sad too. If we had built the proper number of F-22s I would think that we don’t need the newest model of F-15 but now I think we need to build more F-15s. The F-35 is not a dog fighter & it’s has a very limited payload. The F-15s would handle anything Russia has.

My dad told a story about "alpha" aircraft on the flight line which meant the few aircraft prepped for quick launch. At the base relevant to this story, 2 F4s, one C141, one KC135. Apparently, no one is to approach the alpha craft without express authorization. He was told to go load or Check something and clearance was already arranged. Was not 30 feet from the vehicle he road out there on before an SP dropped him to the ground. He told it better of course. God rest his soul now.
I was an SP at KISawyer, and guys regularly got in trouble for slowing down crews who were trying to scramble. It was ALWAYS a training exercise. We had an elaborate system that we were supposed to use with a daily code number that we would flash to the crew as they drove past. And they didn’t always get it right, but we would get hollered at for delaying things. That was only on the A Ramp. On the C Ramp, they had more time to figure it out. I don’t remember ever having to apprehend anyone.
@@JamieSmith-fz2mz
Thanks for sharing. SAC base, bombers, Right? We were always on MAC bases except the couple of times we were on Army or joint bases. My dad's experience was somewhere between 1968 and 1972 serving Vietnam conflict.
@@JamieSmith-fz2mz That's why you train like you fight, and fight like you train. We were going though an IG inspection when we were in a simulated "duress situation." The crew person gave the SP (SF, or Security Forces) the duress word, with the IG person the simulated hostage taker. The SF guys jacked up the crew dog and let the simulated hostage taker through. Had a laugh afterwards about that one (well we did, not the SF guys). I think that's what makes the USAF so successful, is constant drills. I know in my years in uniform, that if we ever went to war, we'd be ready.
I have watched the BUFFs alert a number of times from the flight line, they all ran to the bombers from the ready room. I got to close to a nuke loaded B52 twice, to keep the guys trained, and got jacked. spread flat out face down with their rifle jammed into my back.
it also happened out in the ICBM missile field. if you do the wrong things you are getting jacked by the QRT. I can't day anything more about it. same with the WSA
Wow, great video. Does anyone know what was installed by the pilot just before climbing the stairs?
Looked like he turned on the battery power
he put key into the ignition.
At first I thought this was about the 57th FIS then I saw the video quality...definitely not 80s! Haha. Still, good watch. I got very nostalgic hearing the JFS.
That helmet sticker looks more like a Tomcat! Damn I love the Eagle though.
That little panel the pilot opened must be where he hides the keys
What does the first pilot reach into the compartment under the plane to do before climbing into the cockpit?
Put the car keys in a safe spot.
That pilot knackered before he even gets in the jet!!
I was stationed there in 2005 with the rescue squadron. I maintained HH-60's at the other end of the flightline.
Love and respect from India🇮🇳
It would be faster if the engines were started earlier by mechanics.
I guess the aviation fuel is too expensive for that...
Not in wartime conditions yet
The pilot has they key. Can your neighbor start your car while you are dressing up?
@@edwinencong424 key can still have a copy with the mechanic. It's not that, it's more pressing issue than just keys.
The checklist has its reasons. The distance between the aircraft and the ready room has its reasons. In a more tense situation perhaps pilots are taking turns sitting in the cockpit with engine start the next step on the checklist.

In the US Navy, this aircrew would be considered alert 15 status (standby in the ready room). Alert 15 means you have 15 minutes to get airborne. Alert 5 status means you have 5 minutes to get airborne. The alert 5 aircrew would be sitting in the aircraft, itself, just short of starting up the engines, on standby, as a 2 hour watch.

I have always wondered : do they need to look at oil or water temp before pushing it hard like in a car? Or do fighter jets build heat fast enough?
They develop heat very quickly, in fact it's the opposite. When you start an older turbine engine you are staring at the Turbine Outlet Temperature gauge to prevent a hot start, which may be around 700 degrees C. On modern engines, a computer does this for you.
@@acefighterpilot thanks
they have no water, just engine oil and hydraulics... it is most likely in the green until they push it for take of, as they also have to taxi a little.. any increased wear will be accepted on the aircrafts that do the scramble thing. They might follow other procedures on other missions. Also I don´t know if anything is pre warmed in the hangar.
Also engine oil in turbine engines is there to "just" lubricate and cool some roller type bearings, you can not compare that to a piston engine and turbine oils are very special fully synthetic (Ester) oils with an extreme temperature range
@@acefighterpilot Nowhere in any video of an F-15 takeoff did I see that the pilot had to put anything under the plane. Isn't this some new thing?
@@vaclavnoha5621 You mean at 0:51? I suspect he is checking or connecting the Aircraft Mounted Accessory Drive gearbox that enables the aircraft to start its engines using its Jet Fuel Starter. Maybe someone with airframe specific knowledge will be able to chime in on that one, I'm not too sure.
