Awesome song and video. Even more awesome jet. The F15 is awesome! Proving all the time, that the F22 still has a long way to go before it becomes the main jet of the Air Force. There's a reason the government is upgrading it's F15's instead of buying more F22's lol.

No offense, but I think most of you dudes are just throwing random info out there to prove attempt to prove your point. F-14 and F-15 are operated by two seperate services (Air Force and Navy). There service commitments are also independant. Not to mentio all three of the aircrafts you're arguing about have different missions. The F-14 is an interceptor aircraft, the F-15 is either multi-role or air superiority(depending on the model), the F-16 is multi-role. Its like comparing apples to oranges
@xtrmskr1025 lol clearly u dont know what u r talking about. f14 is carrier based multirole aircraft that replaced the f4, a4, f8, and f111(weight/size problem). u can clearly see a lazer targeting pot under f14a's nosie, for LGB. f15 is depending on the model, a to d model is airsuperiority, E, SE were multirole/stealth capable. yes f16 is multirole but mainly focus on ground attack. if u dont know what your talking about please dont add comment to troll this discussion.
@azulgrana13 well, the answer is simple and its a big No, It might be equal to the su27 on the tecnological level but its definetly not even close to the su37.
Tthis was one of the best air superiority jets, and is the only jets to actually fly with only one wing and still make a successful landing. If you see a f-14, f-16, f-18, or a f-22 getting a wing blown off, they are down for the count, falling face down. While if a F-15 gets blown off, its stilll going to head in strong.
I dont think they are scrapping the f-15 completely, ive heard rumors of an F-15 SE (silent eagle), an f-15 with stealth capabilities, new weaponary and computer systems etc. Just youtube F-15 silent eagle!!
F15E got shotdown in libya, u.s government blame the plane have mechanical difficulties. everyone know that planes were inspected before takeoff, thus, its very unlikely to have mechanical malfunction. u.s government want to cover up ugly new lol
i doubt it was shot down, i was at RAF lakenheath the other day talking to some guys there, apparently if they can recover the balck box, it may give some clue to what went wrong. and the jet suffered mechanical failure, a mechanic cant check evey single fault in the plane, as it would take weeks. An f-15 has never been shot down in all its years of serive, i doubt a country like libya with insufficient weponary compared to the US/UK would shot it down.
My brother has been in service for the past decade and I must say that Though my xp w/planes only goes in vid games, I'd love to fly sometime in the back and film it. Say does that breathing technique that naval pilots use also applies to you (even when you have a G-Suit on)? and two more things.
1. Single seaters seem to have quite the space behind. Additional electronics?
2. If the Eagle has such an outstanding record, how come other planes (16, 18, 117) have failed so badly?
@Namord To your second question: The F-15 has a different role than the -16, -18 and -117. The Eagle is a pure air superiority fighter, it has no ground attack role, unlike the F/A-18 and F-16, so their mission success rates really aren't comparable. The F-15 is also generally at less risk to ground fire than the Vipers and Hornets. The F-117 is a fighter in name only, they were really light bombers, and the one one that was shot down was done so because of bad tactics and a lucky shot.
@powerofthroughts The F-15E is a multirole with ground attack capability, yes, I am aware of that. However, the F-15A/B/C/D and the E model share only superficial similarities. The E model has a much more robust structure, more powerful engines, a different cockpit layout, a different radar, and more. They are actually very different aircraft, so in my post above I was referring only to the A-D models, not the E.
@Ikey3125 , I know what you are saying. It was never a mock engagements against F15. The u.s has many wacs, this put them in a better position, perhaps F15 was a great fighter in long range engagement, but it short range engagement, the Mig29 would smear the F15 alone. I think you should google it and as the u.s air force who bought the mig29 from former soviet allies now a NATO member for training purpose. Mig29 is a great if it was in Russia pilots, you will see the results.
@powerofthroughts Actually the F-15 has done BFM with MiG 29s, and they have come out on top. Besides Russian pilots today do not get the hours US pilots are getting.
@ClancD I think you are talking about in Siberia?????, right??? F15 hasn't lost any long range in combat in the air. Don't forget Mig29 is a better dog fighter. The u.s airforce bought a few Germany mig29 and they using for combat training. They admitted the Mig29 is a better Than F15C. for some you think B52 is an easy target. It is not, it has extremely sophisticated jammer and have escort fighters as well.
1. Any document of the Commander of ACC is initialed COMMACC, even ACC website states this, that's basic knowledge.
2.You claim me as fake, and say that my achievements arent true. You yourselves claim to be in the USAF. If you were you'd know that the disclosure of any type of information, the picture of the F-15's control panel and disclosing the info concerning it

My son flew one of these during his time in the USAF. LOL And to think I was worried when he got his drivers license. LOL God Bless America and keep her safe.
i think the f-15 is the better choice when compared to other air superiority fighters such as the f-22. the f-15 is almost as good, and it's way way way cheaper and easier to maintain.
@epicfail86 They are cheaper to maintain... But not in anyway better. The Raptor has far more range, is far more maneuverable, its radar has more than twice the detection range, a stealth outline far better than the F-15, not to mention the B-2 Spirit. In a simulated dogfight over Alaska, a single F-22 beat 11 F-15C's because the Eagles couldn't even detect the Raptor.
The f-15 is obviously inferior compared with the f-22, but the only country that can make enough to run an air force and maintain it is America. Also, the range of the f-22 isn't 'far better', as the f-15 has a COMBAT range of 1000 nautical miles. This is combat range only. Because the raptor was made later, the intel and weapons mechanisms would be more advanced than the f-15. Although the f-22 has better radar, the f-15 has way more speed, with similar ceiling. the raptor
@epicfail86 The Raptor can do about Mach 2.2, but in peacetime its limited to Mach 1.8 because of the effects it can do on the stealth outline. If were talking about time appropriations, than the Eagle is easily the best plane of its time. The Raptor does have a much higher cruise speed, rate of climb and acceleration. I love the eagle, don't get me wrong.
the raptor has a top speed of 1.8 mach or so, while the f-15 has a top speed of 2.5 mach, producing about 10000 pounds of dry thrust more than the raptor. For a plane made 20 years ago, the f-15 eagle still has its advantages while being tens of millions of dollars cheaper.
The f-15 also hasn't been beaten in a dogfight, recording 104 confirmed kills and 0 losses.
@epicfail86 The F-22's max speed is actually closer to Mach 2.5+, the same as the F-15 Eagle's. (1875mph at altitude) and the Raptor's F119 PW100 turbofan engine produces 35,000+ lbs of thrust each equaling 70,000+ lbs total compared to the Eagle's 29,000+ lbs each and 58,000+ lbs of thrust so the F-22 out classes the Eagle by 12,000 lbs of thrust. I love both aircraft seeing as how I've flown both for the USAF's 1st Fighter Wing. The F-22 may be much better in capabilities but after flying the
@GOAF2014 raptor = nightmare, ground teams have to work on it for aggggeeeessss, i heard its like 30 - 40 hours of maintance per flight hour thats hell bad, does thrust actually mean anything because i think you have to compare it to weight and state a ratio, the F - 22 weights more than the F - 15 ( im 100% sure)
the f - 22 might outclass it by 40KN of thrust but you must take weight into account etc etc
@minerofblood Actually the F-22 is a ground crew member's dream. Those issues with the cracked blades and worn titanium are old and have been resolved. I know because I fly the F-22, and I fly it atleast twice a day. I've been an active F-22 pilot since I completed transition to it in 2007.
@GOAF2014 We're not "ground crew" we're maintainers...but you'd know this right mr fighter pilot...
And the F-22 isn't a dream to work on...but you'd know right?
And as a "pilot" you'd know how uncommon it is for a pilot to fly twice a day...and most only fly once every 2 days. So maybe when you grow up, and stop posing as a pilot...you'll know something about airplanes instead of just reading what you found via google.
@Ikey3125 1st off, theyre real title is either ground crew or maintinence crew, the F-22's software makes it to where the crew knows immediately where the problem is, and as of flying, Operation Noble Eagle, you fly land refuel, rearm, take off, up to 4 times a day. President Obama's inauguration, F-22's from the 94th FS flew 3 times day, all day. But as a citizen who envy's my job, you'd know all of this right?
@Ikey3125 Didn't say you shoot during ONE. The example of ONE was to show that we do fly more than once a day. Combat is when you take off rearm, ect. And because youre a crew chief, what do you work on? Viper, C-17 III, Reaper? And OPSEC, Operational Security, what OPSEC rules have I crossed?
@Ikey3125 The ONE mission for President Obama is old news, it's purpose been released, as of within 3 days news stations Fox and CNN had it as a story. Langley's last squadron to use F-15's was deactivated September 30th. Their F-15C flew with the Pratt&Whittney F100-PW220E.
@Ikey3125 Technical and aircraft maintenance. The techs specialize in the avionics and the electrical systems of the aircraft and of course you know what maintenance is. Trick question, it doesn't, each engine has its own ignition switch. One left, one right.
@GOAF2014 Okay, where do we start? Ignition switches do not exist on the ECP. Second, tech data tells you why you start your right side before you start the left. And, where is the APU switch on the ECP? Figured you as a pilot could tell me or show me in a picture...
Figured as you're so high and mighty towards the General of Air Combat Command you could get us a picture of the ignition switches or the APU switch on the console.
@minerofblood And for the TW ratio, the F-22 (fully loaded) weighs 83,500lbs while the F-15 is practically half that at 44,500lbs and the F-22's TW is 1.14 and the F-15C's is 1.03 but the newest, the F-15K Slam Eagle, is also at an astonishing 1.14! Gotta love the Eagle Family!
my country(Turkey) is stupid... they didnt buy these but they buy 100 of fucking f35 plus these are cheaper money i beleive..sometime i just wonder who handles all the tax payers money in my country...
F-15 unfortunatly you are going to be phased out soon, by a garbage plane with vertical take off and an iphone. I just wanted to thank you for the work you did keeping this country safe and defending freedom everywhere, our airforce will never be as legendary as it was while you defended the skys above me
@jack99889988 Sorry for replying to such an old comment, but I couldn't resist. What makes you think an F-14 is better than an F-15? The eagle is faster, more maneuverable, has a longer range, better climb rate, better roll rate... everything about the eagle is better. The one thing the Tomcat had going for it was the Phoenix - but any aircraft with long range radar can be equipped to fire that missile.
@442hoeky buddy f15 is not more maneuverable than f14. f14 have something called "variable geometry wing" which when retract can have the best supersonic performance, and when its extend i have super low airspeed performance. if f14 is upgraded, it could easily out perform f15 due to its superior versatility can be used in navy carrier and land. reason us retired f14 is lack out funding.
@jack99889988 Sorry, but you're wrong. The Eagle was the most maneuverable aircraft in the U.S. arsenal until the F-16 was introduced - it's a well known fact. Ask anyone who knows about dog fighting, climb rate and roll rate are what matters and the Eagle is far superior to the Tomcat in both. Why do you think the airforce opted for thousands of F-15's instead of F-14's? The Tomcat came out 2 years earlier but wasn't good enough. Still a pretty bird, though.
@442hoeky nono buddy, if u study physics i mean more specifically drag, you should know that a fixed wing only have 1 dependent, that is acceleration. so the speed of the plane is the only way to change how good or bad a plane maneuverability. but its being said, in theory f14 have 2 dependent that is angle of the wing and acceleration, this make the plane more varible to drag. thus, its more maneuverable.
@jack99889988 as i said the reason f14 retired first before f15 is because it is introduced earlier and because its wing need huge expenses of money to maintain. no military want to over spend their budget, this is why they choose to abandon. if u just dig alittle bit about f16's history, they will tell you that f16 is a low-end fighter that support ground attack. think why f15 is still called airsuperiority fighter?? because f15 is more maneuverable than f16.
@jack99889988 Sorry buddy, you just don't know what you're talking about. The F-16 IS a relatively low budget aircraft - but it can also pull more sustained G's than the Eagle (and of course more than the Tomcat). And it's just a fact that the Eagle is more maneuverable than the Tomcat. You can talk about physics all you want, that's just the way it is.
@442hoeky Lol, since when sustain gravity force means good maneuverability?? so haha you are saying a flying m1a2 abrams is super maneuverable??? what a nonsense! u know since the tank got so much armor, it can sustain probably more than 100g compare to 9/-3 g on a f16. f14 and f15/16 were build to the same standard 9/-3 g. sure u probably heard some pilot said they pulled a 15g or something in instant. but thats just a instant, if f15 pull 15g too long it would disintegrate.
@jack99889988 just a heads up...there is zero connection between the retirement of the F-14 and the continuted service of the F-15C/E. The NAVY retired the Tomcat because its interceptor roll was being covered by the F-18. 15's are USAF aircraft. Secondly, the F-15C is an air superiority fighter whereas the E model maintains a different mission. Just because the 16 is a multi-role...MULTI-ROLE...fighter does not dismiss its superior maneuverablity to the F-15. Both are incredible air assests.
@442hoeky early models of f15 only require 1 man but f14 always require 2. Also, it take pilot more time to get used to f14 than f15 because variable geometry wing hard to master. what i think is this, if two side pilots were equally good, all based on the machine, f14 would win. also, if u r an artist, you would perfer f14 ... which is why f14 is very popular in ..i believe a japanese manga called robo tech or macross ??
@joesch135 totally agree. though I am a Sukhoi fanboy, the F-15 is infact a true fighter. Lockheed is nothing more than a company that sells lies. hope boeing brings it back and shuts lockheed for good!!!
Boeing needs to strip an old bird, install twin GE-132 and for test purposes go for a time to alt world record. That could raise a few eyebrows in Congress these days, not to mention other places whom might be shopping. (Even though I'm an F-16XL fanboy)
This is exactly what I would be doing right now if not for being born nearly blind in one eye. So frustrating to think the one thing I would love to do can't ever happen. Go USAF!
I like the fact that when these first came into sevice a load were sent to the UK to have a friendly little scrap with the RAF, the RAF sent up Buccanneers against them. outdated, sub-sonic low level bombers, and the held their own! good stuff!
Thanks for posting, former F-15 Crewchief. Alaska Strike Eagles in the 90th '91-96 (lots of them in this video) and Eglin C/D's with the 60thFS Crows '96-99(33FW). I saw a Crow patch in there, too :)
This is one of the best F15 videos on the box. The footage soars and Velvet Revolver Rocks. Feel the power of Freedom as you remember that we all must pay for it one way or another. The F15 has been one of the greatest A/C of the modern era. 71st Ironmen will rock on in history
There is a very big difference. The f-14 has variable wings, and was designed for the navy. The f-15 was made for the air force, and doesn't have variable wings. These are just some of the many differences.
Both aircraft have swept wings. The F-14 has the ability to vary the angle of sweep, while the F-15 does not (turns out it isn't all that necessary, and adds a lot of weight...). The F-15 is much more maneuverable and is faster as well.
I went to Goose Bay labador for war ganes back in the day.WE the 33rd EG( the f-15s) had to protect the land and stop all threats coming from off shore. Which were the jolly rogers skull and cross bones squadron f-14s and f-111s from mountain home ( MO ). After 2 weeks the f-15s scored 98% ..one f-111 got the jump on an eagle when the radar vsd failed.....the major climbed to 30kft and ran down the f-111 dove on him and had 3-4 seconds of gun film ..but didnt count because it was a missle meet.
Negative. The F15 has been in service since the mid-70s. The F22 is the direct replacement for the F15. We will see some F15E in service for a few more years, but the rest are being phased out. And entire wing of F16s were replaced with UAVs...
rememberthemig29thatateabirdand crashedat theparis airshow? itsallover you tube.i was stationed atEglin back in the 70`s we used the oldest missles in the inventory for live fire.some were purejunk well this eagle fired an aim7off theRT front fusalage station and the rocketmotor didnt fire forlike 5seconds and the missle was falling away andfired hitting the eagle at the same stationitleft from! went thru the jet killed the #2 engine missedthe#1 fuel cell by2inches an tookoutthegun& flewhome!
IVE SEEN F-15`s shot by their own missles.......midair collisions.....pilots knocked out from over G`s flew them straight in the ground.......ive seen f-15`s with my own eyes that pulled over 12 G`s,thepaint was peeled back 4 inches at the top of the wing root........and i have seen them come back home with the paint BURNED OFF OF THEM....but never ever heard of one shot down by a mig....we called jets with the big red star flyin coffins.
I worked f-15`s a-b-c&d for 20yrs starting in 1977, seems like i would of heard about that. ZZ---EG----TY---- HO. One thing...the Eagle KILLED many pilots, I remember one that broke up around st louis going thru mach 2.5
You watching too muh holliwood movies about American heros fighting like rembo. In reality Americans were fighting like pussys, hiding in the forest, watch documentary about Vietnam. You live in fantasy world, propaganda wirld, you are brainwashed.
Yeah, because in Vietnam the VC and NVA were all about having a straight up fight. I think it is you, my friend, that are propaganda fed and brainwashed.
@conceptmuscle you are brainwashed idiot here, Russian planes always were superiour to American planes, if you take class to class, Generation to Generation Russian planes would win, like always won. Mig 15 was fucking F86 in Korea, than Americans fake it F86 combat records, today it's reviled that MIG 15 was far superiour than F86. In Vietnam MIG 21 was fucking F4. Su27 can fuck F15 MIG29 can fuck F16. And even upgraded Indian MIG21 fuck F15 and F16. in Red Flag exersice.
And exactly how many Red Flags have you attended? I've participated in four with the 54th FS out of Elmendorf AFB ALASKA. Also what's your experience working on the avionics/electronics on either Russian or American Fighters? I'm an F-15 tech, my ASFC is 2A373A, google it. I know for a fact you have no idea what you're talking about. You don't have a clue of what RADAR package the F-15 rolls.
Quit watching the Military Channel for your information. Maybe participate in the war in the Gulf or the Kosovo Conflict. Your real world experience is ZERO. Spin the wrenches on the jets and put the books down boy. You are ignorant. Your debate has no facts that support your claims.
@conceptmuscle I giva a shit what RADAR package of F15 rolls. In comparison to the SUKHOIs it's every way inferiour. and You have no idea what RADAR package of SU 27/35 does. And when you, or if you participated in Red Flag, what F15 did. Did he won against SU 27 In the dogfight? No and never will. If you go in rell fight against SU27/35 with F15, you know that best way to survive is to use your ejecktion seat. And don't bulshit me with you lies, bulshit your mom.
also would like to say nice a-10's during the explosion sequences lol

Ikey3125 1 year ago
@Ikey3125 , I know what you are saying. It was never a mock engagements against F15. The u.s has many wacs, this put them in a better position, perhaps F15 was a great fighter in long range engagement, but it short range engagement, the Mig29 would smear the F15 alone. I think you should google it and as the u.s air force who bought the mig29 from former soviet allies now a NATO member for training purpose. Mig29 is a great if it was in Russia pilots, you will see the results.

@powerofthroughts Actually the F-15 has done BFM with MiG 29s, and they have come out on top. Besides Russian pilots today do not get the hours US pilots are getting.

@ClancD I think you are talking about in Siberia?????, right??? F15 hasn't lost any long range in combat in the air. Don't forget Mig29 is a better dog fighter. The u.s airforce bought a few Germany mig29 and they using for combat training. They admitted the Mig29 is a better Than F15C. for some you think B52 is an easy target. It is not, it has extremely sophisticated jammer and have escort fighters as well.

i think the f-15 is the better choice when compared to other air superiority fighters such as the f-22. the f-15 is almost as good, and it's way way way cheaper and easier to maintain.
epicfail86 1 year ago
@epicfail86 They are cheaper to maintain... But not in anyway better. The Raptor has far more range, is far more maneuverable, its radar has more than twice the detection range, a stealth outline far better than the F-15, not to mention the B-2 Spirit. In a simulated dogfight over Alaska, a single F-22 beat 11 F-15C's because the Eagles couldn't even detect the Raptor.

@iamidiotic
The f-15 is obviously inferior compared with the f-22, but the only country that can make enough to run an air force and maintain it is America. Also, the range of the f-22 isn't 'far better', as the f-15 has a COMBAT range of 1000 nautical miles. This is combat range only. Because the raptor was made later, the intel and weapons mechanisms would be more advanced than the f-15. Although the f-22 has better radar, the f-15 has way more speed, with similar ceiling. the raptor
epicfail86 1 year ago
@epicfail86 The Raptor can do about Mach 2.2, but in peacetime its limited to Mach 1.8 because of the effects it can do on the stealth outline. If were talking about time appropriations, than the Eagle is easily the best plane of its time. The Raptor does have a much higher cruise speed, rate of climb and acceleration. I love the eagle, don't get me wrong.

I just think that the raptor isn't FAR better, as you first said, as the eagle does have its advantages

epicfail86 1 year ago
@iamidiotic
the raptor has a top speed of 1.8 mach or so, while the f-15 has a top speed of 2.5 mach, producing about 10000 pounds of dry thrust more than the raptor. For a plane made 20 years ago, the f-15 eagle still has its advantages while being tens of millions of dollars cheaper.
The f-15 also hasn't been beaten in a dogfight, recording 104 confirmed kills and 0 losses.

@epicfail86 F-15 for 15 years, she has my heart. The F-15 is my girl.
GOAF2014 1 year ago
@epicfail86 The F-22's max speed is actually closer to Mach 2.5+, the same as the F-15 Eagle's. (1875mph at altitude) and the Raptor's F119 PW100 turbofan engine produces 35,000+ lbs of thrust each equaling 70,000+ lbs total compared to the Eagle's 29,000+ lbs each and 58,000+ lbs of thrust so the F-22 out classes the Eagle by 12,000 lbs of thrust. I love both aircraft seeing as how I've flown both for the USAF's 1st Fighter Wing. The F-22 may be much better in capabilities but after flying the
GOAF2014 1 year ago
@GOAF2014 raptor = nightmare, ground teams have to work on it for aggggeeeessss, i heard its like 30 - 40 hours of maintance per flight hour thats hell bad, does thrust actually mean anything because i think you have to compare it to weight and state a ratio, the F - 22 weights more than the F - 15 ( im 100% sure)
the f - 22 might outclass it by 40KN of thrust but you must take weight into account etc etc
minerofblood 1 year ago
@minerofblood Actually the F-22 is a ground crew member's dream. Those issues with the cracked blades and worn titanium are old and have been resolved. I know because I fly the F-22, and I fly it atleast twice a day. I've been an active F-22 pilot since I completed transition to it in 2007.
GOAF2014 1 year ago
@GOAF2014 We're not "ground crew" we're maintainers...but you'd know this right mr fighter pilot...
And the F-22 isn't a dream to work on...but you'd know right?
And as a "pilot" you'd know how uncommon it is for a pilot to fly twice a day...and most only fly once every 2 days. So maybe when you grow up, and stop posing as a pilot...you'll know something about airplanes instead of just reading what you found via google.
Ikey3125 1 year ago
@Ikey3125 1st off, theyre real title is either ground crew or maintinence crew, the F-22's software makes it to where the crew knows immediately where the problem is, and as of flying, Operation Noble Eagle, you fly land refuel, rearm, take off, up to 4 times a day. President Obama's inauguration, F-22's from the 94th FS flew 3 times day, all day. But as a citizen who envy's my job, you'd know all of this right?
GOAF2014 1 year ago
@GOAF2014 I'm a crew chief...and I know what I'm talking about. And if you're a real pilot...you'd know about OPSEC.
During ONE, you wouldn't rearm...as you never shoot.
And just because the jet tells you what might be wrong, doesn't always mean that's whats wrong.
I don't want to be a pilot...I fix fighters, I know what we do...I'm quite happy on the ground.
And for the headache...you don't deal with maintenance, so you don't know what we complain about.
Ikey3125 1 year ago
@Ikey3125 Didn't say you shoot during ONE. The example of ONE was to show that we do fly more than once a day. Combat is when you take off rearm, ect. And because youre a crew chief, what do you work on? Viper, C-17 III, Reaper? And OPSEC, Operational Security, what OPSEC rules have I crossed?

@GOAF2014 OPSEC, glad you know what it means, and discussing ONE missions would be.
As for what jet I'm a crew chief on, Eagles.
So here's a question that if you're a pilot you could answer, what engines are in the F-15s that were stationed at Langley?

@Ikey3125 The ONE mission for President Obama is old news, it's purpose been released, as of within 3 days news stations Fox and CNN had it as a story. Langley's last squadron to use F-15's was deactivated September 30th. Their F-15C flew with the Pratt&Whittney F100-PW220E.

jack99889988 10 months ago
@jack99889988 Sorry for replying to such an old comment, but I couldn't resist. What makes you think an F-14 is better than an F-15? The eagle is faster, more maneuverable, has a longer range, better climb rate, better roll rate... everything about the eagle is better. The one thing the Tomcat had going for it was the Phoenix - but any aircraft with long range radar can be equipped to fire that missile.
442hoeky 1 month ago
@442hoeky buddy f15 is not more maneuverable than f14. f14 have something called "variable geometry wing" which when retract can have the best supersonic performance, and when its extend i have super low airspeed performance. if f14 is upgraded, it could easily out perform f15 due to its superior versatility can be used in navy carrier and land. reason us retired f14 is lack out funding.
jack99889988 1 month ago
@jack99889988 Sorry, but you're wrong. The Eagle was the most maneuverable aircraft in the U.S. arsenal until the F-16 was introduced - it's a well known fact. Ask anyone who knows about dog fighting, climb rate and roll rate are what matters and the Eagle is far superior to the Tomcat in both. Why do you think the airforce opted for thousands of F-15's instead of F-14's? The Tomcat came out 2 years earlier but wasn't good enough. Still a pretty bird, though.
442hoeky 1 month ago
@442hoeky nono buddy, if u study physics i mean more specifically drag, you should know that a fixed wing only have 1 dependent, that is acceleration. so the speed of the plane is the only way to change how good or bad a plane maneuverability. but its being said, in theory f14 have 2 dependent that is angle of the wing and acceleration, this make the plane more varible to drag. thus, its more maneuverable.
jack99889988 1 month ago
@jack99889988 as i said the reason f14 retired first before f15 is because it is introduced earlier and because its wing need huge expenses of money to maintain. no military want to over spend their budget, this is why they choose to abandon. if u just dig alittle bit about f16's history, they will tell you that f16 is a low-end fighter that support ground attack. think why f15 is still called airsuperiority fighter?? because f15 is more maneuverable than f16.
jack99889988 1 month ago
@jack99889988 Sorry buddy, you just don't know what you're talking about. The F-16 IS a relatively low budget aircraft - but it can also pull more sustained G's than the Eagle (and of course more than the Tomcat). And it's just a fact that the Eagle is more maneuverable than the Tomcat. You can talk about physics all you want, that's just the way it is.
442hoeky 1 month ago
@442hoeky Lol, since when sustain gravity force means good maneuverability?? so haha you are saying a flying m1a2 abrams is super maneuverable??? what a nonsense! u know since the tank got so much armor, it can sustain probably more than 100g compare to 9/-3 g on a f16. f14 and f15/16 were build to the same standard 9/-3 g. sure u probably heard some pilot said they pulled a 15g or something in instant. but thats just a instant, if f15 pull 15g too long it would disintegrate.

@jack99889988 Now you're just being silly. Agree to disagree, I guess. Peace.
442hoeky 1 month ago
@jack99889988 just a heads up...there is zero connection between the retirement of the F-14 and the continuted service of the F-15C/E. The NAVY retired the Tomcat because its interceptor roll was being covered by the F-18. 15's are USAF aircraft. Secondly, the F-15C is an air superiority fighter whereas the E model maintains a different mission. Just because the 16 is a multi-role...MULTI-ROLE...fighter does not dismiss its superior maneuverablity to the F-15. Both are incredible air assests.
xtrmskr1025 1 month ago
@442hoeky early models of f15 only require 1 man but f14 always require 2. Also, it take pilot more time to get used to f14 than f15 because variable geometry wing hard to master. what i think is this, if two side pilots were equally good, all based on the machine, f14 would win. also, if u r an artist, you would perfer f14 ... which is why f14 is very popular in ..i believe a japanese manga called robo tech or macross ??

@conceptmuscle you are brainwashed idiot here, Russian planes always were superiour to American planes, if you take class to class, Generation to Generation Russian planes would win, like always won. Mig 15 was fucking F86 in Korea, than Americans fake it F86 combat records, today it's reviled that MIG 15 was far superiour than F86. In Vietnam MIG 21 was fucking F4. Su27 can fuck F15 MIG29 can fuck F16. And even upgraded Indian MIG21 fuck F15 and F16. in Red Flag exersice.

And exactly how many Red Flags have you attended? I've participated in four with the 54th FS out of Elmendorf AFB ALASKA. Also what's your experience working on the avionics/electronics on either Russian or American Fighters? I'm an F-15 tech, my ASFC is 2A373A, google it. I know for a fact you have no idea what you're talking about. You don't have a clue of what RADAR package the F-15 rolls.

Quit watching the Military Channel for your information. Maybe participate in the war in the Gulf or the Kosovo Conflict. Your real world experience is ZERO. Spin the wrenches on the jets and put the books down boy. You are ignorant. Your debate has no facts that support your claims.

@conceptmuscle I giva a shit what RADAR package of F15 rolls. In comparison to the SUKHOIs it's every way inferiour. and You have no idea what RADAR package of SU 27/35 does. And when you, or if you participated in Red Flag, what F15 did. Did he won against SU 27 In the dogfight? No and never will. If you go in rell fight against SU27/35 with F15, you know that best way to survive is to use your ejecktion seat. And don't bulshit me with you lies, bulshit your mom.
