F-15E Take off into the vertical climb after engine tests

When it's been well thought, engineered and designed, a fighter never gets old. The Eagle from McDonnell Douglas is one of a kind. A fantastic machine.

@kennybeans6115 2 жыл бұрын

Still the most sexiest jet fighter ever made. And the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle itself is a prime example in proving that its designs are superior to the MiG’s and Su’s as their proportions are just off. The F-15 is the closest thing to perfection. Scratch that, it is perfection. So damn perfect.

On October 13 1997 I took my 2 Sons to Edwards AFB to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Chuck Yeager breaking the sound barrier (occurring the following day). We were able to park the motorhome in front of the visitor center, giving us an unobstructed view of the exhibitor planes and low passes planned for the day. On the morning of the 14th at 6:30am (the exact time when Yeager broke the sound barrier) we were on top of the motorhome sipping hot chocolate. Yeager was in the front seat and Bob Hoover (who flew the chase plane during the sound barrier attempt) was in the back seat of an F15E for the commemoration flight. My youngest Son was very susceptible to loud noises and wanted to be able to cover his ears when the boom hit. The announcer said they would be doing a precise count-down. At the appointed time, the count-down was initiated ... 10-9-8-7- BOOM. I cursed those two buttheads for several minutes. Because they were at 10,000 feet going 760mph it's unlikely they heard me and the day progressed without further incident.

Inventory in November 1974 as the F/TF-15A I remembered the 1st time the F-15 did a max climb like this it was so amazing we all climbed on top of our F-4 Phantoms to watch it! We knew something was up because the jet kicked its afterburner on which up to this point they had not used the burners to takeoff! It was such an amazing sight that they actually did a story in Airman magazine but the only thing that was more impressive about the F-15 was watching its landing no wonder they called it the “EAGLE” the fighter looks so graceful when it lands!
