2011 Joint Services Open House - F-15E Strike Eagle Demonstration

[TacairStationHQ]

The best Strike Eagle demo flown ever imho.  They should make this compressed low cloud-deck modification the standard show, as it's much tighter and forces continuous maneuvering instead of long flat flying increments between maneuvers.

9:20-9:30 segment especially was probably the smoothest loop. They should consider including 2-3 of those repeating loops into a future demo followed by the high speed opening show loop (the one through the clouds). That would really impress the viewer.

@TacairStationHQ did you see his better F-15E demo? Oh my god, I did 6 years in the AF and never saw an F-15 get crazy like it does. Its much better than this one. watch?v=eyTmtmyZIug

@superskullmaster Thanks for the link. I'd have to concur with you that the demo you posted is the most overall impressive I've ever seen as well. I'd still like to see a new lower-profile, Air defense role based CFT with possibly 400-500 gal per tank, 4 conformal AAM points, plus a 32k lbf class engine upgrade with 2-D Thrust vectoring though. Properly equipped, that config could match any current and near-future contender in Air-to-Air with the exception of T-50s super-cruise advantage.

@TacairStationHQ You should check out the NASA F-15 Active then.
