Capt Phil "Ritz" Smith and Capt John "Gizmo" Cox start up and fly a low demo at the 2009 "Amigo Airsho" held at Biggs Army Airfield in Ft Bliss, TX. While filming this sequence I made sure to include lots of startup footage, including the cycling of the exhaust nozzles and flight control checks. As for the flight, locals said its the first time they've seen that much vapor on a jet in years. Enjoy!

  • damn i love the sound of that bird startin up... now THAT my friends is music

  • @roadrodent1952 Could you maybe tell me how the JFS of the F-15 works? I know how it works on the F-16, just a small turbine but the JFS of the F-15 sounds so different, not like the small turbine of the F-16's JFS. It allmost seems that the actuall turbine is started when the pilot wants to start either engine.

  • What's that Formula 1 sound when they start the engines? It's not the JFS right? Cause that is a turbine engine and a turbine engine does not sound like a Formula 1 car.

  • JFS nearly runs 45 seconds prior to the main engine's start up.....

  • SOUNDS LIKE MY TOYOTA COROLLA

  • A very well done video! I love hearing the PW-229's fire up - the sound is incredible.....

  • Sorry 8127

  • I agree with A8187. The sound of the nozzle adjusting is VERY loud. I was able to hear them on a F-15 on final approach. I was about 1/4 from the end of the runway, on the "HOT" line.

  • @jsmoothbx They do a wheelie to slow down faster.

  • Thumbs up 3:16 the most awesome sound EVER !!!
