I inspected F-15s in the United States Air Force four years when I was young. This was pretty much what we did all day. This video really brings me back.
The most beautiful fighter jet in the world. Exciting line, unmistakable engine roar. The most exciting sound in technology. A hard to fly jet due to its instability, the pilots who flew it were really very The most beautiful fighter jet in the world. Exciting line, unmistakable engine roar.

They are for friction like the tires of a car and the lines on the tire are straight unlike the ones on cars at times cause planes only have to move like mainly forwards and upwards at high speeds so they have lines on them so that they don't like just slide off the runway in snowy or rainy conditions.
"Check the wing" checklist item. I can't see the wing. Where is the wing? All I see are two stubby strakes where wings ought to be. Where are the wings? Is this a plane or missile/rocket with man cockpit or an aeroplane? What is wrong? What am I seeing? Where are the wings? Left at factory? Not installed? Fell off? help!!!
No it doesn't. This ridiculously small wings was designed to achieve high altitude supersonic speed. This whole plane was designed for this purpose. To be very high and very fast.

Easy to fly - a pie in the sky do you wanna try - a good way to die. Dive through the clouds with a scream really loud hold your head proud and wind up in a shroud.

Its bad reputation pretty much came from the Germans flying it. There were a combination of circumstances that led to it that weren’t an issue anywhere else.

Starfigther the most beautiful Bird in the world for me 😍.
Mine too 💕
I hope the next films will follow. This was nice to see.
Si vedono i primi piloti italiani che lo hanno volato. Il 104 è laereo a reazione più bello della storia.
The supersonic lawn dart! One of my favorites.
That F-104 looks minty fresh!
Reminds me when my dad worked on them great video.
Cool plane!.. sleek and chic ✈️👍
Ok. I'm ready to go out on the apron for some practical training.
Starfighter forever😭😭😭😭😭

4:33 “check for no cuts on tire” 4:50 what are these on the tire? Hope they replace these before the next 180 mph landing...

My favorite bird! Thx
Where is the next training film ?
the F-22 Raptor of the 50’s 😎
When is it ?
That leading edge does look sharp. o_O
So all the dudes that you will be fighting… are all doing the ground course together Right !
Good looking beast, pity it was such a temperamental one.

Beautiful but must be flown very carefully
Best looking "fighter" interceptor of the age. Plenty quick but handled like crap at low speeds and had no range.
Mark O'Cain : designed as day point interceptor...
See this 1969 film from Royal Danish Airforce ua-cam.com/video/gAFFD_D3Ko0/v-deo.html
Took some big nuts to fly that thing with those tiny wings.....
how fricking big is that plane
Not very big
El ataud volador
Why did everyone talk woth this exact same accent and voice back then?
They didn't. They just chose people for these videos that all sounded like this.
...it needed a bigger wing

A good crew chief allows some clown to fly his airplane with adequate training.
There wouldn't be a pilot from China there these days.
ROC = Republic of China (Taiwan) not PRC = People's Republic of China (China)
