Them boys from my home town, Hampton, VA, home of the 1st fighter wing ,LANGLEY, I remember when the gulf War started, seeing those f-15c ,KC tankers,and f-117, the power and force of them leaving for many there 1st deployment to battle was a amazing sight and sound.
Lance Lund I’m watching this on a TV and can’t zoom to see the patch. What about it makes it an “E” squadron? Does that mean it’s F15E models or is the E for EW?
Great video. Love seeing those variable intake ramps fluttering and the vapour squeezing out of the air as the jet pulls g. Got to confess that watching the WSO read his map gave me a touch of motion sickness though haha. Thanks for sharing. 👍
I am curious where the cam was. Since the inside of the aircraft is seen moving perpetually, it could not have a fixed cam. It could not have been mounted on the back of the pilot's helmet as the video is too steady for that. Can someone help?
Yes, the intake ducts are moving. They help establish the best angle for the engines in hard maneuvers, to prevent engine stalls and "flame-outs." The aircraft has the ability to fly the engines beyond their ability to function! So the "vectored intakes," allow the engines to get the air they need, when the aircraft is dancing all over the sky! Vectored intakes and vectored thrust nozzles make the F-15 capable of doing what it could not without those technologies...
Christopher Leveck Yes because PW Engines suck and need extra help from the aircraft to prevent stalling . ( I’m stationed at the base currently and work on the engines)
@@amackdaddy34 I think just about any engine would be in a stall range, inside those ducts, if they remained rigid... P&W or any others... But they offer the engines the best flow of air, in different angles of attack of the aircraft...
Hey guys, thanks. Brain fart on my part. I knew most of this I guess I just never seen them actually move before. I did learn a couple things though so i appreciate it. A close friend of mine in high School actually flew them out of Egland for 7 years. Living in Oregon I get to see them go over head once in a while flying in and out of Portland with the air guard. Still in most amazing aircraft ever built and retired with a spotless air-to-air Victory record never lost one to an enemy aircraft in what, 40 years? Go Eagles.

@@StephenWoodOriginal It should. It should put you right off everything....but, you're not paying for it, we are.

What do you mean? The F-15 is a "shared," technology amid allied nations. Israel flies the F-15. Not exactly what other countries do... An "air superiority," fighter, the F-15 to date has never been shot down in any hostile engagement, be it American or another country...
@@gizmogoose.2486 If you're paying for it all - could you send over some more B2s please? They're way cooler than F-15s. Oh - and throw in a couple of F-22s whilst you're at it. Ta!
@@Sinn3246 We don't fly F15's in our air force. Lakenheath is an RAF base in England. It's operated by the USAF who have called it home since 1948. Most Brits are proud to have them there. 🇬🇧🇺🇲
@Hammerschlägen M yeah, both, some people say in a mocking manner, trying to dumb down our gun-toting nuttiness, but also because we are just as patriotic as anyone would be to their country. Also... Murica I believe if actually from a movie, the Lyrics Murica, Fk Yeah, comes to mind, some doll-mation movie, lol.
Watching that intake move around is mesmerizing
Yeah... I didn't know they moved around that much lol and flying with just his feet too...
@@justachipn3039 The pilot is at the front, this is the navigator.
Did not know that the intake actually moves during flight.
EinkOLED we are called Weapon System’s Officer (WSO), close enough though

Games are getting better, one day I hope they look like this! What an awesome office!
Untill he pulled the map out I thought it a was single seat eagle ...
Yeah I figured they were on autopilot or something either that or a green screen
the patch on his right arm gives it away that it is E squadron. used to work there, been inside every 492 and 494th cockpit and seats

I thought for a moment its a self driving tesla model 4 with side winders lol
@@F3PIZZA F15E
That's supposed to say 492nd Fighter Squadron, not 92nd
I had no idea the intakes moved around that much.
They move all the time, that are called variable ramps..it adjust airflow into each engine
@@stephenszabo2361 wow

Thanks for sharing. 👍
Just like riding an F15, thank you so much, sir.
Very cool. I am originally from STL where these and F18 are all built.
Amazing. Pandemia bring me here, but the intakes moving keeping me awake!
When you've forgotten the wife's birthday and need to get to the shops in a hurry! 🙂
Most excellent, great camera work .
Living the dream..🤙
I finally got a ride in an F-15 "YES!"
these fly up East Yorkshire 2-3 times a week. sometimes high and fast.
one crashed into North Sea off Scarborough on 17.6.2020
Think your title should read 492nd Fighter Squadron (Tophatters callsign “Bolars”) great video none the less 👍🏼

Beautiful and cool
DCS is looking photo realistic.
I am curious where the cam was. Since the inside of the aircraft is seen moving perpetually, it could not have a fixed cam. It could not have been mounted on the back of the pilot's helmet as the video is too steady for that. Can someone help?
You can clearly see the shadow of the GoPro and mount attached to the side of the canopy several times. 1.54-1.58 as an example.
im sorry that one went down very brave men
They never fly over central London ☹
There would be too many complaints
Awesome 👍
That a South African cheatah from 2 squadron SAAF on my 6??!!! Shit break right!!
Can anyone confirm the nozzle intake duct movement is actually happening and not just a camera movement or image stabilization thing?
Yes it is. Controlling the flow into the engine.
