Combined Arms Demo (F-15Es and F-16Cs with FLARES!) 2023 Wings Over Wayne

F-15s and F-16s dominate the air at 2023 Wings Over Wayne. Shot on Saturday, May 20.
Certain air shows hosted at USAF bases will feature combined arms or air power demonstrations to showcase our military aircraft in a combat scenario. These displays usually consist of several local fighter jets performing air combat maneuvers (ACM) while pyrotechnics simulate ordinance dropped on the field. This display, the Combined Arms Demo, featured two F-16C Fighting Falcons from Shaw AFB and four F-15E Strike Eagles from Seymour Johnson AFB. And if that isn't enough, the jets were popping flares!
I really love the Carolinas, because the military air power demos they do here are amazing. Flares and pyro, what more could you want? It's also great to see the F-15 in action, which is such a rare treat nowadays. In addition to this amazing display, the Raptor demo team also used flares!
Enjoy!

Thanks for these awesome videos Alex! Some of my favorite days of the year are going to these NC and VA airshows, and your videos capture these cool events so well. The F-15E demo at Seymour is always the best!

Thanks, man

Those F-16s were armed and ready

[@pocketwingman]

they could've been inert, as F-16s use inert AIM-120s on their wingtips a lot because it helps reduce wing flutter
