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

2011 Joint Services Open House
Joint Base Andrews-NAF Washington, Maryland
Sunday May 22, 2011

Major Mike "Cash" Maeder and Captain Steven "BUDA" Bofferding take to the skies and fly a great Strike Eagle demonstration at Andrews, again, despite being far away from the crowd. This is a modified routine because of the 7,500 foot cloud deck.

I apologize for the black or white blips in the video, as I have yet to figure out what causes it.

If you are interested in purchasing DVDs of specific aircraft and/or of airshows, interested in anything and everything related to airshows (where the jet teams will show up, all airshow performers, airshow reports from airshows I have attended, previews of airshows I will be attending, etc.), a much more easier to navigate "version" of all of my videos, and/or everything there is related to aviation - including spotting guides to my favorite airports and military bases and aircraft factfiles, please take the time to check out Steve's Airshow World at http://www.stevesairshow.com .

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

@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 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

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.
