  • outdated and over manned

  • 30 plus years older and still the F-15 does everything the F-22 cant.

  • Love the afterburners!

  • be funny if the f22 going pass on the ground hit the afterburner for a few seconds

  • The heritage flight is sweet. I love seeing the generations of fighters together.

  • 0:58 eagle eagle eagle OMG RAPTOR AHH .. eagle eagle

  • To the dumb ass Russian fanboys in the comment section: I've seen modern Sukhois take out more people at air shows than in actual air-to-air combat not very impressive if you ask me..........lol

  • The Mighty Eagle....The true, undefeated, Sky Brawler!

    Fly, Eagle, Fly!!!

  • the f-15 is not being replaced there coming out with an F-15 silent eagle which is stealth

  • @Adamkhang18 The SE is only going to have limited RA material, and not going to be considered a fully stealth aircraft. Also, Boeing is slating it for export only... the US has no plans to purchase any F-15SE's. Just FYI.

  • @Adamkhang18 true but the us will not be using the F-15SE

  • f-15 is frekin awesome!!!cant wait to try and become a fighter pilot!i also liked the way he kept on going into afterburn

  • why mess with sucess? Its proved itself time and time again

  • @thekirbs17 Where???? he proved him self, in Bombing of Serbia which had about 1/2 of air plains, or maybe in 1 golf WAR when 20 states of world was attack Iraq or maybe in sec golf War ,where Iraq had about 30 Mig21 end 15 Mig29 WHERE.Ask honestly your self WHERE against which enemy roughly equal by any plains.(maybe in WWII)

  • Think f15 is going to be around till 2020

    Boeing is making newer versions

    The silent eagle for export it's bad ass

  • @faekz I saw pictures of it. ITs got hidden ordinace and stealth like the F22 cant wait till it comes out unless it already did i dunno?

  • Great vid! 

  • I remember mowing the grass near the Precision Approach Radar at Langley while the F15 pilot was practicing the demo. I was right in the middel of the loop a few hundred feet below him. It was awesome!!! I miss it.

  • This plane has absolutely no competition in the sky. 100% badass. I spent 4 years with the 1st TFW, 27th TFS at Langley AFB as an F-15 Crew Chief. I love the sound of those engines.

  • lol without germany usa is nothing

  • @shawn3213

    LOL!? it seems to me without usa, the whole world is nothing.

  • Comment removed

  • That's my baby! Worked F-15s for a total of 11 years. A, B, C and D models.

  • @roadrodent1952 I was an F-15 Crew Chief at langley with the 27th TFS. Where were you?

  • Oh and also how those fanboys only counter to the F-22 is, "Stealth is worthless crap" haha thanks for presenting your evidence on that well thought out counter.

  • I love how these Russian fanboys are always talking about how this new plane can beat the F-15 and keep trying to make new technology to counter it, while an over 30 year old aircraft.

    A true testimate to this Outstanding airframe

  • the only reason these russian fanboys argue is because they know that US planes such as the F-15 blow their budget planes out of the water. Its been proven. The F-15 has a 106 air to air kills and ZERO air to air deaths.

    Next Red Flag we should settle the score.

  • They need to keep building these and forget about wasting the money on the f-22 and f-35s

  • @swedishvolvo i kind of agree with you on that i think that instead of using the money towards those we can buy the new stealth eagle that boeing introduced

  • Ha and it meas a lot more to me since it's coming from someone named "raptor22able" The F-15 has never been defeated in an air to air engagement and it's still one of the worlds best fighters. The Air Force has had the F15s for so many years now so I'm sure they know the plane through and through and have the support system to keep them going. It just makes sense to keep using this great platform and give it an upgrade. It's much for expensive to design a plane from scratch.

  • Part 2 I hear the F-15se will be making it's first fight later this year. I'm sure the F-22 is a superior aircraft, maybe the best in the world but I don't see why we needed to spend all of this money when the Eagle is still dominating the sky's.

  • @raptor22able Fuck you cocksucker, your stealth eagle is more crap than craptor, son of a cocksucker.

  • thats funy mike the US has had 5 stealth aircrfaft. Where are Russias?

    Also good comebacks you cunt.

  • @raptor22able All of them are "stealth" like F117 was in Serbia. Russians know that STEALTH is useless crap, becouse ther radars see them anyway. Come down from your delusion, F22 is "STEALTHY" just for the countryes who have no radars at all, like Afganistan.

  • Stealth doesn't show up on any radars you dumbass that is why it is called STEALTH

  • @raptor22able Serbians shot 2 F117, can you explain how?

  • First get your facts straight there was only 1 shot down. Second it doesn't matter at least we have stealth. Also the Serbs are smarter than Russians and figured out the secret behind it's flaws. The f22 has had those flaws corrected. So think before you speak

  • And people who wear armor still die, should they not wear any? Should we remove sprinklers from buildings because there are still fires?

    Steath increases the work the enemy has to do to detect you and therefore reduces inbound enemy fire.

    Your debate hinges on this all-or-nothing argument that the military has never made, nor would they ever make.

    And as I recall, the jets in Serbia were detected passively via cell towers, not radar returns.

  • @joefitzjoefitz Russian planes SU35 and MIG35 detecting any planes at 50-90km range with infrared sensors and these sensors impruved every year. Let me tell you as you probably victime of propaganda, F22s misiles have max range 110km and firing moving targets, that range redused 60-80% than F22 have 30-40km efective range, than SU35 have perfect visibility and R77M1 misile have 190km range, more agile and acurat than any AEM120. Now tell me where is "STEALTH"? Useless.

  • Mike, that was a reply to your notion that stealth is useless because ONE F-117 got shot down from over 1600 combat sorties; easily the most absurd logic I've read this week.

    (Ex )-communists should NEVER use the term propoganda, especially while writing propoganda.

  • @joefitzjoefitz American propaganda is best of the best. Communists were not even near as good as Americans. Propaganda is what you hearing every day and repiting like papagay. First F117 never flew 1600 combat sorties, even near of it, second there were 3 F117 was hit, two of them make it to the base in terrorist Albania. And 90% of the Serbian radars were destroied. My logic is that Serbs hit so many "stealthy" F117 as not "stealthy" F16 and F15s, there were no difference.

  • "American propaganda is best of the best. Communists were not even near as good as Americans."

    I'm trembling that your memory is so short: for the USSR to have fallen so far and have the last commie generation learn so little is truly frightening.

    Mikey, the USSR was broke and collapsing inward since '78 and COMPLETELY hid it under the rug from its people. If Reagan or Clinton could've commited a lie that gross, they would also have been able to be crowned King.

  • Mikey,

    There is American propogada regarding our equipment, but it usually runs opposite to what you suppose: Military manufacturers often try to scare people with how obsolete our present forces have become, so as to goad the goverment into buying newer equipment.

    The story on the export side is probably a little different, but customer one is Uncle Sam and look at the poor guy marching to war in rags and fighting with antiques.

  • @joefitzjoefitz It has nothing to do with poor guys. MIG29 is far better than F16 this is from WIKIPEDIA (see at mig29s feature) "In joint USAF-Luftwaffe exercises, the MiG-29 that the Luftwaffe fielded defeated the F-16 in close combat almost every time using its highly practical infra-red search and track (IRST) sensor and helmet-mounted display, together with the Vympel R-73 missile" MIG29 is better than F16, more expencive than F16, but more countrys buy it anyway. FACT IS FACT!

  • you might be right, cause the f16 is multi-role aircraft. but try the f15 or even better the f22

  • @mikeplay007 the mig-29 is a much better turn fighter in close ranges that is well known :) you didnt say anything new buddy :P i dont like the f-16 either :P

  • @LpmVr MIG29 is not just better as a plane, it has better misiles too. R77 have grater range than AIM120, and it's more agile and accurat than AIM120. New R77M1 have 175+km AIM120D have 130km. In all cases MIG29 were shou down by 4-5 F15 suported by AWACS was fighting against one MIG29. In Serbia one MIG29 was fighting against 22 NATO planes. Mig29 is good plane, but it can't do miracle. See video about MIG29OVT, or MIG35, no US planes can even dream to do such maneures.

  • @mikeplay007 Whatever, not only do Russian planes end up as fire balls when they go up against US planes, but they end up as fireballs at the airshows too. Airshow tricks won't help you survive in a real fight. Speed is everything.

  • @mikeplay007 dude you really need to do some home work guys the 15 is being retired and the 22 and 35 will be replacing it

  • @hasko25100

    when is the 15 gone retire?

  • that is theory, is not proven fact. You russians just depend on theory that is why you we never succeed, we (usa) see the real world, that is why we are in top of everything, money, education, media, military,etc.

  • @1658487 education...........LOL

  • Everything gets old. The 4th generation F-15 stands no chance against a 5th generation aircraft. With other countries continuing to research 5th generation aircraft the US has to stay ahead of them and continue to make better aircraft.

    The F-15 will get retired soon. Saying theirs no use for them. And they don't stand a chance against the improving ground-air missiles.

    And obviously they have no stealth. So spy missions are not optional.

  • 34 years old, never defeated in aerial combat. FF ( First to Fight ) Love the Eagle.................. Old but faithful.

  • im curious what our aircraft could do if we introduced forward canards....I know its a Russian thing, but damn, they're ao agile without them, just imagine what they could do WITH them.

    Just my opinion

  • yea they have done that with a few of our aircraft including this F15 and some other of our fighter jets. I have seen this on other videos but i dunno why its not being used. Seems to work good i guess.

  • F15 Eagle. The last true fighter! Thank God for the engineers at McDonnell Douglas.

  • f-22 a-10 f-154 and the sabre are all the best fighter jets ive seen.... sweet formation break

  • I heard that the f-15 was proven better than the f-22!? F-15 my fav fighter

  • It's possible because the F-15 was actually the best fighter jet out there before they even made the F-22

  • Comment removed

  • you know god can defeat any toy a man can produce my friend. if god wanted to a mig 29 can shoot down an F22, f15. cause what ever god says goes.

  • The F-15,F-22,A-10,and the Sabre were in that formation. They all are really good planes, but I like the F/A 22 the best. The F-15 the second best.

  • Love the crackle of the afterburners! So distinct and so awesome. Couldn't be heard any better than on the Eagle.

  • The F-15, undefeated in air to air combat, 110 -0.

  • The F-15 is in service till at least 2025

  • Yeah I know it's really sad I should say to see it go.

  • did you ever see the new F15 S/E stands for silent eagle? It has stealth capabilities as well as hidden ordinance...friggin great look it up!!!

  • Hehe, LOL to all those saying russian equipment is better. They have like, a total of five jets which are even worthy of contesting our F-15. And we have squadrons full of F-15's which are rapidly being replaced by F-22's...so, any air war against russia would be a fun turkey shoot for our pilots.

  • On International Air show MAKS-2009 in August 2009

    This will be the day, when it will be a very painfull day to be an American !

    The firs public representation of new 5th generation SUKHOI PAK-FA multirole super stealth machine.

    In August 2009, another humilliation on the annversary of Russian victory over Georgia will be staged against United States !

  • Russian victory over Georgia? You need to learn exactly what victory means buddy. I guess you would assume russian victory in afghanistan too?

    In August 2009 russia will display their lone fighter which might be able to contend with one F-15...congratulations, we have 700 more to follow. And several F-22's which can ruin any crap russia is currently able to produce.

  • US "Air superiority" is pure fantasy and myth !

    watch?v=_ej7LxN-1FM

  • The F-15 Eagle, air superority for the USAF, these last 30 years!

    I tip my hat off to the might and power of our flying Eagle, the F/15. Job well done!!!

    I salute you!

  • I hope the planned "Golden Eagles" hold up. Somehow I'm just not sold on less than 200 Raptors and basically the F-35 becoming the predominant USAF fighter.

  • cool

  • Love those combat take-offs. At night time in Saudi Arabia, that shit look cool as hell when they took off.

  • Very nice.

  • F-15 Eagle + FA-22 Rapter + A-10 Thunderbolt + F-86 Sabre = sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet;)

  • F15 Will always be my favorite jet fighter. The f22 has some of it's features though but more stealthy and more faster.

  • The F/15 is the Raptor's daddy!

  • he is really using that afterburner

  • f-22 raptor at :57

  • Hhhh .. Sometimes!

  • But the aircraft type S-37 possesses the characteristics and capabilities better than F-15 .

    These forces must not to underestimate the capabilities of Russian planes and special plane S-37 and Su-35 .

    Dhumic okay ,,,

  • rookbook?

    Just curious.. how many S-37 are in combat squadrons?

    True, nobody should underestimate any prototype R&D project's capability in any Military.

    In fact, this is a major reason why NATO is pushing so hard for European based missile defence against future missile threats from 'very real' R&D missile capabilities, shown by militaries such as Iranian rev guard.

  • I think the missile defense is for shooting down Nukes not war planes mate.

    The real question is why is Russia worried about it.

  • exactly... people dont realize it till one of our boys get shot down... then all hell breaks loose and "no one knew that they had that good of technology" dome examples of this are

    Gary Powers being shot down

    the F-117 being shot down

  • Do you realise what the Russians had to do in order to shoot down the 117? They got lucky, end of story. I suggest you do some research on what they actually had to do in order to even shoot at it. They did not have a lock and fired a ton of rounds and missles in the 117's direction. If the 117 didnt fly the same flight pattern over and over the Russians would have never even got a chance to fire all that crap at it and hit it.

  • serbs shot it down... i have a college degree in aeronautical engineering...so i think i know my facts... they did have a lock... although the nav. system and warhead were modified, and speculation has arose about whether or not a tile was missing so stealth was gone... im not looking for an argument man.

  • What good are your slow movement characteristics when you cant even see the f-22 or lock onto it? The f-22 has the same agility as these planes. That agility was taken from the f-16 matv, f-15 active, f-18 harv prototypees and designed into the f-22. Where do you think the Russians copied their thrust vectoring technology from? They got it from the previous stated planes that we designed in the early 90's.

  • F-15 has to be my favoite fighter except of corse the F-22A.

  • Always loved the F-15 thanks for posting the vid.

  • the afterburners are awesome!!!

  • the f15 has 104 kills to no losses. this is all combined numbers form all user nations. that being said the most advanced plane its killed is mig 29 over kosovo. the e and later variants are more than a match for any corrent russian fighter. save maybe the su30mk1. but with the new missles the f15 has all butthe raptor are deadmeat.

  • we should have mass produced the f-15 active and the f-18 harv with the f-16 matv and no one would be talking about how good the russian jets are. they are a copy of things we did 15 years ago.

  • exactly!

  • Thankyou finally sumbody else agrees with me. I think we still should mass produce the f-15 active along with the F-18 harv and F-16 matv, these planes would cost less than the F-22 program but almost just as effective. These planes have the potential to be an awsome fighting force and even outdue the all the Suckois, and shutup every Suckoi fanatic. Take that Russia......

  • F-15 is out of date, we need the f-22, the sukoi su-37 will eat f-15s all day.

  • the F-15 is waayyy not of date. The F-15 has a ZERO combat losses. So its quite a good fighter. And do you mean the Su-27? Cause Mig-29s are a fight for 15s, during Desert Storm, we blew them outta the sky.

  • considering the su-37 is only a technology demonstrator and only 2 have ever been built i doubt they would eat f-15s alive all day. The sukhois that are in the greatest numbers are the su-27 and su-30. if you look at the numbers the sukhois arent any better. I'll take the Eagles combat record any day

  • And with the various versions you could size em up. Especially with the Raptors(I probably said something bad with that) which could beat anything the ruskies have.

  • indeed

  • ad in the superiority of American pilots....

  • no really advanced planes were shot down though...

  • Ah, the sound of an afterburner is fantastic. Thanks for the great vid.

  • The ability of the aircraft P-15 big ,

    They can take off angle significantly , almost 70 degrees ...

    Thank you, Sir, for this video Excitingly ,,,

  • its f-15 buddy...and your grammar is pathetic

  • Awesome, really cool Mach Discs on the F-15 . . .  You just gotta love the sound of the A10's turbofans, Fantastic!

  • If you look close/pause the video about 47 sec in you can see the "rings" in the afterburner exhaust.

    Also visible at 3:03.

  • Pardon my ignorance but I see an F-15, F-22, A-10...but I'm not so sure what the fourth jet in the formation is. Could anyone let me know? Thanks =).

  • F-86 Sabre

  • Thanks!

  • hey, ive worked on this perticular jet many of times and i can say it will out preform anything out there including your mother.

  • You can always tell those who hate America by some of the ridiculous comments they post. "The Su-37 and Mig 35 are way better than the F-15 and cRaptor" For all the America haters remember F-15= 200 to 1 kill ratio in actual air to air combat.

  • i'm still trying to respect both sides. I mean, every side will have casualties if russia and the usa went to war,. thats obvious, no matter how technological the weapons are. if not in air, then in sea or land.

  • because the F15 countries wont go to war with us and its never been shot down in action what do the russians have on that not a dam thing.

  • Yes, the F-22 can fly faster because of the internal bays, (Mach 2.0 burn) and the Sukhoi generations can fly at a NES of Mach 1.5 on full weapons. on light of no load-mach 2.5+(burn)

  • If the f-15 was modernized it would be like the f-22.The f-22 is the alpha male.

  • and i have to admit the F-15 was my favourite fighter when i was younger...that was before i knew of any russian planes. XD. The afterburners caught my eyes...

  • Why are we even comparing the f-15 to new generation aircraft Russian or what not? Yes it can be beat because it is an old aircraft which by the way was the best aircraft of its time and still can hold its ground. I love this aircraft its still exciting to see it in airshows. Personal opinion here.

  • What was the second plane type at the last seconds of the video?

  • and i loved that take-off...smooth as! and it was as agile with the landing gear down! this is truly a brilliant plane!

  • And it is cajun. The F-22 can fly faster then th SU-35. And what good is menuverability when u can be right behind the F-22 and not lock a missle on it. then what? Shit out of luck my friend. :D

  • it looks so sad, ridiculous, awkward, even pedestrian in comparison to Russian SU-37 and MIG-35

  • It's also much older than them.

  • The above mentioned Russian aircraft all look like toys compared to the F-22. The Eagle comes from a different era. It was the best in it's day.

  • "The above mentioned Russian aircraft all look like toys compared to the F-22" - ok, now just prove it! Show something that F-22 can do that would overshadow the skills of those Russian birds! I will agree with you if you could show something that would'n look like conventional flying, can F-22 do the trics those Russians can?

  • I can't prove it b/c I haven't flown any of them. "Tricks" are great at air shows but America has a history of building BATTLE PROVEN superior aircraft i.e. the P-51, F-86, F-4, F-14, F-15. Just think about it and make a logical decision. Do you really think America would develop a plane that is inferior to anything else out there after all these years of air superiority?

  • And BTW, there are videos that you can find on youtube of the F-22 performimg the same maneuvers we have all seen the SU-27 and SU-35 do. Like I said tricks are great for airshows but the Raptor has it where it counts. Superior avionics, stealth, and the best support systems. The Russian planes are impressive but I believe the F-22 is far superior.

  • SU-37 and MIG-35 are on the same level as the F-15 and yet the F-15 still has the superior avionics so the F-15 is better.

  • Yes it looks sad compared to technology demonstrators that have never seen combat. Remember the F-15 has 200+ air to air kills to 0 deaths. I'll roll with those awkward ridiculous numbers anytime.

  • F-86 saber A-10 warthog F-22 Raptor and F-15 Eagle were all there at the end

  • nice takeoff

  • a very nice film shot,I love the action in the 4-way-turn.

  • man i wish i lived on langley. i live on eglin afb in florida and eagle base but i want to see the F-22.

  • Impressive demo

  • even with our new tech. f15 stiil has many records and steepest climb at take off and fastest climb of U.S. planes

  • I use to live at Langley. I'm a military brat. This took me back to being a kid and sitting next to the flight line with my Dad. Good times.

  • I work in the squadron which flies this jet. Unfortunately it was our last year to have a demo team, but the Raptor will be taking over and should put on a hell of a show. They've been working on the demo for the Raptor lately and it should debut later this month.

  • Saw the Raptor practicing a few days this week. VERY impressive.

  • I live very close to langley, i get tons of flyovers by all sorts of aircraft like he F/A-22 and F-15 over my house. Its cool.

  • I live very close to langley, i get tons of flyovers by all sorts of aircraft like he F/A-22 and F-15 over my house. Its cool.

  • French Mirage 2000 have beaten several americans fighter like F-15 in red flag exercise and the rafale is unbeaten for the moment

  • even if that's true... we're talking just an exercise.

    if an American F15 was really going up against a French mirage 2000 in combat, I'd put my chips on the F15 all day long.

  • you are french, I can see your are not a patriot. You will vote Segolene Royal, won't you?

  • not marred by shitty music, i love it

  • Was stationed at RAF Bentwaters, UK several yrs ago, and two F-15 from Bitburg AB, Germany had flown in for a few days. When they departed, (Two-ship formation, in tamdem, not seperate rollouts) the lead took a normal takeoff climb, his wingman threw it into a barrel roll almost as soon as his gear cleared the runway. F#*%ing coolest thing in the world!!!

  • lovely video - nice work from the pilots and yourself. keep 'em coming

  • Never catch afterburners like that during the day (when it's clear)

  • Very nice video, love the ending flyby F-86 Sabre, A-10 Tankbuster, F-15 Eagle, F/A-22 Raptor. Wish I was there.

  • kæm e du

  • F-22 raptor is soooooooooooooooooo coolio and the F-15 eagle is a really really good fighter but whats a bomber doing there?

  • good video! f-15c is my favortie form of f-15!

    f-15c rocks!

  • F-15 Eagle... been the Air Superiority Fighter for decades..

    only just recently surpassed by the F-22 Raptor

  • very cool, wish us would attend and display at uk shows, i love the eagle

  • Saw an F-15 demo when I was 13 and it's been my favorite aircraft ever since. Thanks for posting this.

  • it's an 0-4. they said on the video.

  • he used after burner to take off and this guy must be at least a captain to pull this office.. got a lot of hours..

  • EXCELLENT!

  • On efuel guzzlin' cruzzer for one big fat looser.

  • only a superpower can afford that kinda fuel bill!;)
