    Pretty realistic F-15 air combat maneuvering and dissimilar air combat training video. Flew several sorties with the F-15 wing at Bitburg while on the USAFE IG team and it was a lot of fun.

    All the fighter bases in Germany are gone now except for Spang.

    Pretty good video.... Are throttle movements like that standard for fighters? It looks like he slams them forward to the stops. It was interesting to hear the various threat calls and maneuvers.

    Affirmative, idle to mil and then past the detents to A/B is common. The engines were pretty good about not compressor stalling. The huge intakes helped.

    Only in Iran. They are all beer cans or on a stick here. The F-15 guys called them Turkeys.

    Quite a few defensive flares... very cool.


    Common complaint: loud and annoying background music... why is this so common? At times the pilot's voice was in the background. Argggh.

    That's what properly calibrated fcus are for, and like taz said, those intakes are massive.

    Thanks - that was great!

    The F-15 is absolutely my favourite jet fighter :)

    Steve- It is even more fun from inside, even in the back seat. Plus the nice thing about an F-15 is that you can use the afterburners in the back seat. Old F-4 drivers will tell you the max was military power from the back seat. Never did figure out the logic for that one.
