yep being a part of ground team is like working at 24/7 factory - checks, checks, fixes, put a missiles, rounds, preflight, after-flight, disarm, checks, ....
Any time /ever happened a missile was improperly loaded or bolted and fell off,accidentally, during take off,or very early on in the mission??This looks like a VERY tough and precise job..arming a fighter plane.Hi-tec,PRECISION,and amazing corrdination amongst everybody .BRAVO!!
The main reason they do it is to simplify storage. Its a lot easier to store a cylinder as opposed to a cylinder with things sticking out of it at the back end.
Did that back in 1981-84 time frame, started out on the F-106, then the sq transition to the F-15 (and honorable mention the T-33, loading the Chaff Dispenser was fun)
F-15 was like one of the best modern fighters in history but now they might replace the eagle with the F-35 or the silent eagle due to no more building any more new Raptors
silent eagle is the same airframe just modified for south korean usage, f22 is repacing it partially in air superiority roles, f35 is partially replaced the f16 and completely replacing legacy hornets and hairrers
F4C Wild Weasel to F15C, 79 to 81. Barracks 715, 713, 725 then moved off Base. Great Times where had. running BC Street and the Japanese Bars on the Right side of gate 2 street after Midnight when the Marine Recon went home. Till then the NCO Club. AFSC 46250 then.

The small Clubs where you could buy a bottle and they kept it for you behind the bar till you came back. Spent a year in Osan both on and off base in 85 to 86. Team Spirit 79 was spent in Kunsan back when Olympia beer was 35 cents at the NCO Club and they had the dancers in the club wearing Bikinis. To be young again!
that isn't the Kadena I remember. I was loading F-4C. We always had to crank ammo by hand in suu-16 gunpods. also now have revetments buildings good for them
That is because your loading stations are at waist or lower chest level. Depending on where the F-15 is seated stations can be around 7 ft high. So balance and load 350-380lbs then do it 10+ more times. Also the all 9s are loaded by hand and the UAL-LALs don't always come with air, if you are loading multiple jets you will run out and be loading by crank anyways.
A major flaw/cover up on the F-15 was discovered by the USAF in the early 80's. This was about the P&W F-100 engines. Early in the F-15 service, adjustments were made. Not all were clearly explained by Whoever. A ACMI range is off the coast in the Norfolk, Va. area. Langley F-15's (4) were to do ACM with 4 F-4E's from Seymour-Johnson NC. As the A/C met at the ACMI Range, they were told that the computer for such died, and the exercise was cancelled. Being miffed by this, one F-4 driver suggested they have a Drag Race. Why not? Line abreast, 600 kts on your mark, go. The F-15's immediately shot ahead, as expected. They got so far ahead they could barely see the F-4's in the rear mirror. Then the Phantom's got larger. And then they shot by the F-15's! That should not have been the case. P&W was toying with settings to satisfy reliability issues. At the expense of peak power. Heads rolled at P&W if I recall. Then GE introduced the F-110 to the fleet while P&W got it's stuff together.
Tony . your comparing apples to oranges here, the a10 was designed to be a tank killer, a in your face kind of killer, it could take a lot of ground fire and still survive, the F35 on the other hand would kill you 100s miles away where it would be safe, you wouldnt know it until the missile hit you in the face
“Can you imagine getting your hands dirty? Must suck being ground crew” thoughts of the pilot as he sips his coffee grande with 4 sugars, calf milk creme with a dash of cinnamon that he slapped a ground crew member last week for putting 3 grams of cinnamon shavings and not 2.
Sleep dep Wow how cool! I'm thinking of joining once I graduate so maybe I'll get stationed somewhere cool like that. Being stuck here in Arizona at Luke or Davis Montham would be a shame :|
Those diesel engine Jammers with hand throttle are the pits...the older petrol (gasoline) models with manual box's were so much better, and quieter. The boys are likely not allowed to roar around with their mate sitting between the lift beams these days either! Good times.
Bussy Painter94 the colors means nothing, during hours of darkness or inclement weather (anytime it isn’t sunny) we have to wear a reflective belt on the flight line. Common practice is to just always wear it. These reflective belts come in different colors for the wearers preference.
Depends. Are you talking active combat, or just anticipated combat? Active combat, they'll have everything in position, ready to be reloaded immediately after landing. I'd assume about 30 minutes for refueling and reloading For when they anticipate combat, it's probably closer to 40-45 minutes, as they need to haul out all the munitions and get them into position for loading. And for training purposes, probably close to 75-90 minutes, just for them to take their time and not fuck anything up
You can't just buy a fighter jet, you also gotta buy all the support equipment and all the armament and the training and the fuel and the... Cash well spent
Maintenance is the most important it is also the most expensive. Most of my time was spend doing maintenance not loading, the equipment must be kept in working order.
This is easy. Go shoot a video during an IG inspection during a combat quick turn! After my active duty in the corp. I transitioned to air force reserves at Bergstrom in Austin. We transitioned from F-4 to F-16. I worked in phase docks, flight line, EOR. Got a back seat ride in both aircraft! We got activated to go to aviano, Italy. This was during the war in Bosnia and Kosovo. Many combat quick turns there! Loading live ordinance. My job refilling lox bottles!
LOL they ARE noisy. (They are called Aerial Stores Lift Truck aka a Jammer). Best way to operate them is to crank up the hand throttle, which it sounds like the driver has done. Looks like they are a good load team, clear concise hand signals and minimal corrections from the jammer driver or the guy operating the fine adjustment controls next to the table.
I spent nearly nine years as a Weapons Technician on F-4E, F-15 and & F-16 fighters; with many years as a Weapons Load Crew Chief. These people are not professional! Nowhere in this video is a CHECKLIST being used and/or available. This is BAD! The load certifications for these crews would probably be "busted" if caught by Flight Line QC, or Load Standardization. It would make for a very bad day for these folk's Supervisors, Shift Leaders, and Flight Chiefs if they were caught without having the proper checklists and using them as trained. I have seen personnel receive non-judicial punishment (Article 15) for this issue.
I'm a weapons crew chief on the 15 right now. We use digital checklists now. If you look in their pouch they have a tablet looking thing. That's what we use now and it has everything on it for every munition from the 33-1-2. That the 15 can carry.
@@anthonysotherland1040 Thanks Anthony for the clarification! I had to use grease pencils and thick laminated checklists. I don't want to guess how time I had to spend cleaning each page at the end of the shift. I'm 62 years old now.

It's surprises me that loading takes such a manual effort. Seems like WW2 !! All the technology is there, so why not designing something so you can simply replace some kinda cassette with bullets ? Would be much faster. And during conflict, time is an important matter.
All aircraft take a while to load. The F-15C is one of the shortest because it is strictly air-to-air. Full/mother load takes around 40-60 min. Bombers take multiple hours and multi-role fighter jets can take well over an hour. I was Aircraft Armament for 14 years. I worked on F15-Cs for 6 years and E models for 4 years.
Ok so did anyone else notice that the thing carrying the missles needs to be beat on to get into gear?. Not something you want when carrying explosive ordnance right?.. It's at :25
Old comment, but I used to be a jammer (the thing carrying the missile) driver here. I’ve literally had them catch fire, wheels fall off, hydraulic lines burst, everything you can think of happen to them. It’s what you get with 50 year old equipment
@@jakeclark798 Well shit, I'm glad you're ok after such things happening and know that I'm truly thankful to you for your service 🙏.. It also makes me sad to think about all those defending our country can be working with such outdated equipment like that seriously. Anyways thanks for sharing this with me and I hope that all is well with you and yours good sir. 🍻
@@jakeclark798 And seriously, if you're in the military defending a country you/they deserve the best machines, firearms, armor etc etc!. This penny pinching they do and using such equipment till it gives out finally and can't be taped back together just irritates me big time.. It all plays a part in the fighting so if just one part of it slows down or fails it fails right down the line which can cost someone or even a lot of people their lives, so again it makes me mad to hear how you guys are just having to limp the equipment along like that.. Maybe I'm just going to the extreme here but still. Anyone who puts themselves on the line or helps keep the soldiers on the ground moving forward deserve the best in my opinion without question and I'd like to believe that someone with serious pull will do right by all those doing the hard work and the hard fighting by getting them what they truly need.. Sorry for rambling on here but thanks again and take care. 🍻🇺🇸💪

Bombers take multiple hours and multi-role fighter jets can take well over an hour. I was Aircraft Armament for 14 years. I worked on F15-Cs for 6 years and E models for 4 years.
@@gutsberserk2718 hi, i am researching about the job for armament system. But cant find much. Is it really 12hours work per day the whole week?
Good america 's army and idea
Each missile cost more than my house
What are the biggest "tubes" under the wings? Are those fuel tanks?
martinaee the HUGE ones?? Yes. External fuel tanks. 200k$ a pop if im correct..
Ok so did anyone else notice that the thing carrying the missles needs to be beat on to get into gear?. Not something you want when carrying explosive ordnance right?.. It's at :25
Old comment, but I used to be a jammer (the thing carrying the missile) driver here. I’ve literally had them catch fire, wheels fall off, hydraulic lines burst, everything you can think of happen to them. It’s what you get with 50 year old equipment
@@jakeclark798 Well shit, I'm glad you're ok after such things happening and know that I'm truly thankful to you for your service 🙏.. It also makes me sad to think about all those defending our country can be working with such outdated equipment like that seriously. Anyways thanks for sharing this with me and I hope that all is well with you and yours good sir. 🍻
@@jakeclark798 And seriously, if you're in the military defending a country you/they deserve the best machines, firearms, armor etc etc!. This penny pinching they do and using such equipment till it gives out finally and can't be taped back together just irritates me big time.. It all plays a part in the fighting so if just one part of it slows down or fails it fails right down the line which can cost someone or even a lot of people their lives, so again it makes me mad to hear how you guys are just having to limp the equipment along like that.. Maybe I'm just going to the extreme here but still. Anyone who puts themselves on the line or helps keep the soldiers on the ground moving forward deserve the best in my opinion without question and I'd like to believe that someone with serious pull will do right by all those doing the hard work and the hard fighting by getting them what they truly need.. Sorry for rambling on here but thanks again and take care. 🍻🇺🇸💪
Честно говоря так себе, очень много сложных ручных операций. На внутренние АПУ ракету тащат и подвешивают на руках. Заряжание пушки вообще жесть, видно что усилие на крутилке очень большое, а держать ее очень неудобно.
I'm ok 👍
very good fentacestick
Why do they have floats or pontoons on them?
justbrandonll fuel tanks that are made to be dropped if they need too.

Is being a weapons loader a specialization, like a actual job where you don't have other duties?
Adam Anderson Thanks for the reply!
@@johnsterling6659 Thanks. So is the getting drunk just to help you through the day mentally or...?
@@johnsterling6659 I appreciate that clarification and I also appreciate you providing so much detail about your experience.
How much their salary???
are very nice defend
good
That’s a good way to jam a gun using power instead of a speed handle....come on Air Force man up!
Being a former (retired) loader myself I can tell you that using a speed handle is a very long and tiring job. Much easier using power
Faut pas être pressé. En temps de guerre les mecs auraient 50 fois le temps de se faire bombarder avant-même que leurs avions soient armés :D :D
