I was a fighter jet crew chief in the USAF from Aug. 1974- Aug 1980. I crewed the iconic and legendary F-4 Phantom jet first at Holloman AFB NM and then Osan AB S Korea. When I left Holloman in Aug. 1976 I was sent to Osan, Holloman got the F-15 the following year. When I left Osan after a year there, they got the F-15 the next year. I kept missing getting the chance to crew the F-15. I was sent to England AFB after my tour at Osan and I was with the Flying Tigers. We had A-7D Corsairs. Just before being discharged in Aug. 1980 I was in charge of the end of the runway crew. My job was to do the last inspection on the A-7D at the end of the runway and make sure it was air worthy. If it was I would give the thumbs up to my two weapons mechanics to arm the jet. One morning there were two F-15 sitting underneath the tower. The tail letters were HO. Holloman my first yard. Needless to say I got all pumped up and told my four weapons mechanics that I was going to have the F-15's put on show for us when they took off so be ready. When they started taxing towards us at the end of the runway i stepped out of our shack and started jumping up and down while moving my right arm in a motion letting the pilots know that I wanted to see a 90 degree take off. As they taxied by us the first pilot ignored me and the second looked at me, saluted me and gave me a thumbs up. They parked at the end of the runway side by side. The first one wound the TF100 engines up and put it into afterburner which by the way they do not need to take off so I knew he was going to do the 90 degree take off. Wheels started to come up just before the first 1K foot marker. He held all the way down the 12k runway about 100 feet off the runway, turned and then went straight up!!!!! I could not believe my eyes. Plus it happened to be a clear sky morning. No clouds perfect day for it. Took my eye off of one to see two do the same thing. after that I tried to get back to one but lost sight of them both, could only hear the roar off the engines. I went up in an F-4 at Holloman. That's the photo you see of me. Would have loved to have had the chance to go up in the Eagle.
Love this story! Your passion is contagious and motivating, especially for someone who is just starting their pilot journey in the USAF with a long road to go ☺️🙏🫡
@@warfarenotwarfair5655 I love the C-130. I went on a TDY from Osan to Clark in the PI and we flew down there on a C-130. Five hour flight and the thing I most remember was sitting on the rear doors and loosing money playing black jack with my boys. My ass was colder than a well diggers ass! And I lost money to boot. December of 1976. Thanks for your service chief.
What’s even more impressive is the fact that it’s doing all of these insane high alpha maneuvers with an entire load-out of 12 AMRAAMs. Historically, it could only carry 8 in total. The new Eagle is a massive upgrade
It has the score that no other aircraft has or will ever achieve again. Zero losses and 109 kills to its credit. And it's the only fighter to have known to fly and land with One Wing. Go watch Fat electrician F 15
I was there for the show on Sunday, and it was impressive! Interestingly, a slick F-15QA flew early in the show, and this heavily loaded F-15QA flew near the end of the show. Both were highly maneuverable, although the slick version was a bit better. I'm amazed that the F-15 airframe has been so competitive for over 50(?) years.
it’s surprising how old but amazing stuff like the tomcat and eagle were. Sure, the tomcat was retired, but the F-14D and ST-21 prototype (although it was never built) are amazing aircraft in both looks and capabilities

First 10 years of operational service in the F-14A saw 79 crashes/airframe losses with 19 fatalities, which was surprisingly-low. F-16 was 143 losses, 71 fatalities its first 10 years, also low for a single engine.

F-35C actually has longer legs than a 2-tank Tomcat with GE motors, vastly-superior sensors and SA, plus ISR capability that covers into maritime patrol and ASW territory. It's the easiest fighter to bring aboard a carrier in Naval history as well.
@@weasle2904 That's a negative. The F-16 was the first to have complete fly-by-wire. The F-15 has always had a more limited 3 axis stability augmentation system, just like the F-14. The new "advanced" F-15 (SA, QA, IA, EX) are the first F-15's with actual fly-by-wire.

It's really quite impressive for a ridgid wing jet... I mean the energy bleed rate as it pulls alpha is going to be horrible due to the flow separation ill starting at around 25 degrees of AoA, just like the regular Eagle. But its still pretty damn cool.
@@F15CEAGLE1 We were at Edwards AFB then when they were flying the YF-15A prototypes with the Day-Glo Orange tails and wing tips. The wings had different geometry with sharp trailing tips. The speed brake was smaller and only extended out at a shallow angle, and the F100-PW-100 motors had both the convergent and divergent nozzle sections. Later in 1989, we ended up on the F-15 CTF, after having worked on F-16C Block 30 & 40 capes expansion.

Just think. She was built to counter a threat that never existed. The Mig 25 Foxbat was supposed to be Russia's super fighter, and all it was, was a supersonic straight-line interceptor which the F-15 would fly rings around.
It's honestly not even just the jets. It's our pilots. Our pilots are trained so much better. That's why china is sending over people to try and steal training methods. We actually have a few pilots that trained Chinese pilots and now they are in prison. Also Russia don't have the funds to train there pilots like we do. Russian pilots also do not train defensively. It's crazy. We are so far ahead of everyone it's not even funny.
No doubt, although Will did live until 1948 and witnessed the jets that flew in WW2 (Orv died in 1912, I think). Also, David McCullough has a great book about the Wright Bros.
That’s the plane it was reversed engineered from captured during Arab Israeli war the twin stabilizing fins is of Russian innovation just like infrared search and tracking systems
I believe the inspiration for the MIG-25 is the The North American XF-108 Rapier. It was a proposed long-range, high-speed interceptor aircraft designed by North American Aviation intended to defend the United States from supersonic Soviet strategic bombers. The aircraft would have cruised at speeds around Mach 3. It was loosely based on the XB-70 Valkyrie.

Great video. The F-15's have been and will be a very capable fighter. Having all of the different Fighter jets at different capabilities is very beneficial for the USAF. F-16's , F-15's , F-35's , F-22's and all other planes that are a part of the available planes. Aim High.
I was there for the Sunday show. I surely didn’t know the F15 could be so agile. But I imagine Boeings Test pilot is probably the best in the business. Great show btw: F15EX, F22, F35C, EA18G, B2 Spirit, Blue Angels, and a Navy Heritage Flight like no other. A F4U, F35C, and EA18G. So cool
What an impressive piece of metal, and great footage. This version does remind me a little bit of the F14, which is still my favorite. But this one comes close :)
Well shot, high quality video with great sound. Did anyone else notice the slight flutter in the vertical stabilizers right as it was going into the tail slide? I've seen it before in other videos of this plane as well.
I built a 1/48 scale model of the F-15 almost 50 years ago, i could never had imagined that it would still be a "top of the line" combat aircraft to this day !
I have been an aircraft geek for nearly all my life. I have never seen an eagle display in the flesh, but this was impressive , and with missiles too. Very similar to the Finish f18 display. I wonder if the software enhancements come from that?!
With the addition of GE 110 engines, the airplane is finally all that it was designed to be! Note that the exhaust nozzle outer flaps are on and they stay on.
If those dummy missiles are weight-representative of the AMRAAM, that demo was even more impressive! An Iraqi MiG-25 hit a US F-15 with a radar-guided missile, and before that a Syrian Mig-21 hit an Israeli F-15 with a heat-seaking missile, but in both instances the F-15 was able to return to base. So those weren't exactly "wins" for the F-15, but they weren't "kills" either.
My son and I went on Sunday. They’re saying this was a one time look at the QA for North America. The line up sure looked good on paper, but holy crap we got one hell of a hell of a show.

1980, Ohakea Air Base , Near Palmerston North, New Zealand , an F15 Eagle ,High lighted the Air Show , that very hot afternoon
Worked on 15's at Lakenheath. Great airframe.
5:47 those vertical stabs were seriously vibrating!!
I love how they gave it a full load out and full tank of gas for the demo
Flying masterpiece!
Sounds fantastic!
The F-15QA has taken the advantages of retrofitting an outdated aircraft with advanced tech to a whole new level.
That is a bad bird! Many great memories and long hours on the flightline. Eagle Keepers!
F-15 is so badass,still the standard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Definitely pulling some serious G's!! Amazing!!
Whoa that was a disticnt intake sound! That howling is unque.
I built a 1/48 scale model of the F-15 almost 50 years ago, i could never had imagined that it would still be a "top of the line" combat aircraft to this day !
Great aerobatics(cobratics).Very satisfying video for fighter plane enthusiasts.
Thanks.Loved it❤🎉
I have been an aircraft geek for nearly all my life. I have never seen an eagle display in the flesh, but this was impressive , and with missiles too. Very similar to the Finish f18 display. I wonder if the software enhancements come from that?!
Impressive, guys!
impressive w/ a combat+ load-out.
Very Cool Show
INCREDIBLE
That is one badass blue note.
I heard the A-10 demo team is done after this year it would be awesome to get a F-15EX demo team!
amazing shots
It has the F104 howl, love it!!
Amazing how very dangerous and lethal a fighter jet looks when armed.
That thing sounds like a real beast
Wow..very good quality recording Mic! Awesome video captured👍
With the addition of GE 110 engines, the airplane is finally all that it was designed to be! Note that the exhaust nozzle outer flaps are on and they stay on.
Superb ! 🌟✈️
Wow. That is some next level flight authority. Damn.
Dad & uncle worked on Eagle , Mac design
It H-O-W-L-S.
I watched an F-15E Strike Eagle demo years ago. It didn't howl.
I was at that air show. An awsome plAne
Great camara work. Wow!!
If those dummy missiles are weight-representative of the AMRAAM, that demo was even more impressive!
An Iraqi MiG-25 hit a US F-15 with a radar-guided missile, and before that a Syrian Mig-21 hit an Israeli F-15 with a heat-seaking missile, but in both instances the F-15 was able to return to base. So those weren't exactly "wins" for the F-15, but they weren't "kills" either.
WOW - What a beast!
My son and I went on Sunday. They’re saying this was a one time look at the QA for North America. The line up sure looked good on paper, but holy crap we got one hell of a hell of a show.
