Those F-15s are from my state's Air National Guard the 159th Fighter Wing nicknamed the Bayou Militia the three starts on one of them denotes migs killed in the Gulf War
I went down and worked with you guys 10 years ago from the unit in St Louis
You are an outstanding unit and I was proud to work with Yall
Refueled many Eagles when I was stationed in Aviano, Italy. Up close and personal the most beautiful fighter jet ever built imo.
Louisiana "Bayou Militia"!!! My home state. Belle Chase, Louisiana!!!! Proud!!!
Thank you for sharing with us your excellent videography.
Best wishes in the New Year to all. 🎄

My dad worked on F100 and retired as an Eagle Keeper with the 159th. Back then they where called the " COONASS MILITIA". When they had the F4 Phantoms Coonass Militia was painted on the leading edge of the rudder. You can find pictures of the Phantoms intercepting T95 bomber with the inscription.
Noooo quien fuera para haber estado allí viendo mi avión favorito x 8...que envidia .. Muy bonito video.
¡Muchas gracias!

With a tail # 78- Probably the oldest F-15’s on the USAF inventory

Thank you for watching!
Nice videos of the Eagles. I live down the road from RAF Lakenheath in the U.K. where 2 squadrons of F15E and 2 squadrons of F35A are based. I get to see, but mostly hear, the fighters in operation daily.
awesome bird
Louisiana Air Guard!
Awesome
Thanks for watching!
splendid
Thank you very much!
Probably a hydraulic problem based on the puff of smoke location and the Pilot landed without the speedbrake being deployed.
🤘🤘
🤙🏼🤙🏼
Looks like 159 had to return with a problem. I didn't see anything unusual at take off. Better to be safe than sorry, of course. Those are some proud birds.
PR airspace was a bit more safe with the presence of the Eagles just taxiing on the ground.
Nice shots, looks like one had to declare an emergency and RTB, glad he made it. Wonder if it could have been a bird strike ?
The 159th is one of the very few wings that use a "vanity" tailcode, that refers neither to a base or a state. It is actually just short for JAZZ, in homage to New Orleans musical roots. OZ, on the tails of bombers from Kansas, is another example, andmeans just that - Homage to the Wizard of Oz. One that mystifies everyone is the ZZ that has been the tail code for fighters from Kadena Okinawa for decades.
The ZZ tailcode's origins date after the Korean War and have nothing to do with combat performance. In 1968, the Pacific Air Forces assigned a randomly generated letter to each of its 24 wings. The 18th Wing received "Z."
Each flying squadron was assigned another randomly generated letter. The two letters were then combined and painted on the squadrons' respective aircraft. Within the 18th Wing, there was: "ZA" for the 12th Tactical Fighter Squadron; "ZG" for the 67th Tactical Fighter Squadron; "ZL" for the 44th Tactical Fighter Squadron; and "ZZ" for the 15th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron.
By 1972, the Air Force reorganized the tailcode system and began to assign two-letter codes to each wing. The 18th Wing would have received "KA" for Kadena during this renaming, but the abbreviation was already in use by the 457th Tactical Airlift Wing in Vietnam. As an alternative, 18th Wing officials and the Pacific Air Forces commander requested the 15th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron's popular "ZZ" markings for the entire wing. In 1975, the 18th Wing officially received its ZZ tailcode designation.
Great Information! As an AF Vet I can normally tell home base of aircraft based on the Tail ID and was immediately dupped by the JZ... Obviously, they are from Louisiana but why the JZ? Cant wait for that to show up as some trivia question!
@@RubenLopez-ey5dv "JAZZ/JZ, in homage to New Orleans musical roots" A pilot from the wing told me this at an airshow
I don't remember exactly why, but I heard that ZZ was given for a negative reason. Like the lowest is ZZ.
This video is amazing! Which tripod did you use?
I use a Takama 66” Section Video Tripod with Fluid Head. Thanks for watching!
@@BlueRockerPR Thanks for the info, much appreciated!
I saw this airplane at pearl harbor aviation museum Yes you Right I saw little one at gift shop by hot dog on glass
F-15 crew chief from 1983 to 1990
On frame 16:54 on F 15 takeoff from SJU you can see the engine failure that caused the same Eagles return to base.
Know where the P3 came from? Our Customs P3s are always operating down south and curious if this is one of the locals from Corpus Christi.
Not entirely sure but I think it was indeed from Corpus Christi. Thanks for watching!
one of the F15 smoke came out when he took off which is why he had to return back to the airport
That was a rare bird with three kill stars.
One of those eagles has three (3) kill marks, does anybody know what victories they represent????
Hola, en donde queda el aeroparque? En SJU?
Eso es correcto, hoy día lo llaman 'The Flight Park", lo puedes encontrar en redes sociales como Instagram.
So - as long as these fighter planes were around, Puerto Rico had some air defense. Right now, we have none - someone either in Congress or the DoD saw to it that the Puerto Rico Air National Guard be stripped off any air-to-air capability. PRANG aviation is now reduced to air transport, a fact the enemies of the US probably know well.
Well, the fact that the Corsairs were blown up probably didn't help in securing other fighters I guess...
@@poorwotan Unfortunately, true. If any of the terrorists who actually destroyed those planes or planned it is still around, I guess they are quite glad Puerto Rico has been left without any immediate air defense.
about standard seeing an ANG aircraft abort on takeoff
esos aviones son de la 159th AW
Minuto 8:42 explota algo...o no se que es.
0:39 overseas french registration and....swiss flag????
