Jeez Jerry... I'm 59 years old and just signed up for 10 years in the USAF thanks to this..... The Missus won't speak to me and the cat just peed up my leg. That was bl**dy brilliant. Memories of a mis-spent youth!!!
I remember taking my father to Lakenheath for the first time and the shock on his face when the F15s reheat kicked in and the car was shaking. For those people who have never experienced it, well its loud real bloody loud, and the new F35s are even louder
Die F15 sollte schon so oft ausgemustert werden , aber es ist eins von 2 Arbeitspferden die sich bewährt haben , das 2. Pferdchen ist die A-10 Warzenschein. meiner Meinung nach die besten Flieger die es gibt
@@billirvin9057 God Bless you brother! I come from a long line of military members so I never enlisted. My sister & her husband were Air Force. I could watch any series of F jets all day long! The fact that these pilots can take off at the angle they do here is amazing!
I was station at RAF Mildenhall, 1988-91, which is practically down the street from Lakenheath. by car about 5 minutes. When taken off from Mildenhall you can see Lakenheath. you could hear them take-off. Like they say, the sound of peace. I miss those sound of any military aircraft taking off. it such a great sound to hear. Been retired from the Air Force 23 years..
@@bonnieplasha4684 Our expeditor knew some of the people there at the SR71 hanger. On mid shift when it quite, we got to see the outside of the plane, not the cockpit. but it was amazing piece of equipment we had. Seen it taxi plenty of times in the morning, about hour after the Q took off. It was a somber day when we saw it final flight. I just miss working on the flightline.
@mag1960ana1 I can hear the nostalgia in your words. How very fortunate you were to work close to such legendary aircraft! Thank you for your many years of service. Blessings!
Can't beat standing behind the Lancer on full reheat, just don't get too close. We asked a load of tourists to move back behind the corden, they didn't listen and were all repositioned nicely by the jet wash
@DavidTucker-e2j They were Japanese, I can't say what I really seen but they looked beyond excited and would definitely do it again, it was bizarre but funny. Nice people, they were just enjoying themselves.
Im glad someone else had the same idea, this song feels like it gets the adrenaline going, especially when an aircraft is taking, running, coming off the ground. So powerful.
Love this. Brings back so many memories. I was at RAFL 1987-89 with F111's and ended up with F15 1992-98. Love AC/DC. So this video bought tears of joy for me.
In the late 70's when I was there, our F-111F's would take off in full AB, and the farmer at the end of the runway would complain that his cows would not give milk because of the loud noise.
Saw Lakenheath and immediately knew it was the F-111s. These jets were freaking awesome. Got a chance to see them during Desert Storm and was definitely impressed. A true king of the Air.
The U.S. Navy used to play Thunderstruck as part of their F-14 Tomcat demo. Hearing the crowd all chant "THUNDER!!!!" together as our big awesome F-14 took to the air gave you goosebumps. The F-14 was of course pulled from service way too early due to corrupt politics.
The D model Tomcat was overwhelmingly the Navy’s choice as opposed to adopting the Super Hornet - even in spite of the higher maintenance costs. The F-14D was as advanced as the F-15E at that time. Grumman was targeted by Cheney going back to the late 80s. Boeing/MD and its Navy “Hornet Mafia” even cooked the books to make the Super Hornet look more capable that it actually was. Basically if the Tomcat had been a Boeing/MD product, it would still be on carriers today.
I was there from 82 through 85 and we had F-111s. Got to see the original broadcast of a couple of TV shows, Max Headroom, and a thing caller The Black Adder. The plane that we flew home on was the same one that three years later to the day blew up over Locherbie Scotland on Dec 21st, 1988. I haven't been able to donate blood or organs since because Mad Cow was ongoing at the time and they still fear it like voodoo.
I remember F-15s in CA doing 'Good Neighbor' scrambles -- no A/B until 1000 ft AGL. Quieter, but when the A/B lit and the nose came down ... impressive!
8 surround Bose speakers, I ALMOST a turned it to see how many windows I could blow out, but... my wife didn’t let me. 😂love watching you channels. Streaming on the tv, right now
i remember visiting Lakenheath back in the 60s and the USAF treated us to a mass launch of F-100 Super Sabres - they took off three at a time. That's probably why my hearing's not so good now. 😁😁😁😁😁
I am a US Navy Veteran. Try taking off on a US Navy Aircraft Carrier during rough seas. That is a test of a great pilot. I have seen this done. Then they have to return. WOW.
This has to be one of my favourite ever youtube Vids !! Superb Song, beautiful birds and afterburners... it does not get much better than this ! Thanks 👍👍👍
I hear this every day. I live near one of the Air force training areas. These are loud as they fly over my apartment. Along with many a lot of their other stuff. I can tell when the world is heating up by the changes in frequency of flights followed by unusual slowing of the noise for a week or so.

I’ve always loved the sound of the nozzle squeezing then the raw power of the Eagle’s afterburner. Nothing else like it in the world
I might have heard that.... if the rock and roll was not included.... what a shame
YES! And you left the sound of the F15s in, thank you 👏
Had a great time at Lakenheath, met my wife on deployment. Good hunting 48 TFW , FLY FIGHT WIN
Lakenheath - wow. Father-in-law was based here in the late 1950's with US Air Force security. Great video

So you were at Milden Hall when the Blackbirds were still there? Ever get to see one up close?

Thanks. I was wondering.

Overly excessive maintenance costs. And a plane rapidly being overtaken by modern technology

Gotta love this! F15s are amzing!
My youngest son was stationed there, he works on f 15s, the most bad ass fighter jet, developed in the 60s from the f 4 I believe!
