To this day, the F-15 eagle maintains a 104-0 record. It has downed 104 enemy aircraft to 0 losses.
-
mustard makes some of the best documentaries on youtube about vehicles in history, would highly recommend watching/reacting to more of his content!
-
In 1992 I was working at Boeing Everett as a contractor. I was outside walking to my car that was probably a mile walk. Paine Field was right there. A F -15 came off the runway and turned straight up. With a lot of noise it went straight up until you couldn't see it anymore. Very impressive! I've been in love with it ever since.
-
The F 15 came on around the same time as the F 14 Tom Cat (Navy) and F 16 fighting Falcon a great trio of aircraft.
-
My first two and half years in the Air Force was at a west German air base. A tactical fighter wing that supported just one type of plane…..this beauty the F-15 eagle. The best two and a half years of my life. Those pilots just loved leaving the base on full afterburners and it was a sight to see.
-
Don't know if it was mentioned, but the Mig-25 was flown across to Japan and landed there. Victor Belenko was the pilot who defected away from the Soviet Union and is now a US citizen.
-
Especially considering that the F-15 is 40+ years old astoundingly dangerous aircraft
-
I recall a Saudi pilot interviewed during Desert Storm declaring his adoration of the F-15, dubbing it the "greatest fighter in the world."
-
The fat electrician has a great video on the F15 you should watch too!
-
The F-15 was also a throw back tho Cockpit placement/visibility to the F-86 and the WWII fighters. If you want fast development look at the P-51 Mustang (90 Days).
-
Dogfighting may not have entirely gone away, but it has undeniably changed since the introduction of air-to-air missiles. Among other things, it was previously pretty normal for a plane in a dogfight to sustain multiple hits, sometimes dozens of hits, and still emerge victorious. Even the tankiest of current aircraft cannot get hit by dozens of air-to-air missiles and still fight. Self-sealing fuel tank liners are one thing, but we haven't yet developed an aircraft that can regrow its wings mid-flight.
-
the f4 phantom was said to prove that put powerful enough engines in a fighter ,you could make a brick fly through the air
-
I was stationed in the Netherlands and they had F-15s there then I cross-trained in F-15 Avionics and spent the next 9 years working with them. Fun aircraft.
-
The fat electrician did a great video on this
-
the fact that the eagle has shot down an actual satellite in orbit is actually ridiculous
-
The Foxbat was built in response to the US Valkyrie Mach 3 bomber. That never went past the test stage of development. Only 2 were built for testing and the program stopped.
-
The F-5 pilot laughing when he realized he couldn't shake the F-15 is gold.
-
Enjoyed the video and thank you for your service!
-
Had the distinct pleasure of being stationed at an airbase that operated the F-15C and F-15D up until fairly recently. It was always a pleasure watching them in the pattern. Fantastic, big, loud, powerful birds that will absolutely slap anything out of the sky.
-
you should also look up on youtube about the F-15 that shot down a satellite in the 1980's. This also scared the Russians. We had a super fighter that could carry a missile that could shot down a satellite. Space attack satellites were not out of reach for the Americans.
