I wish I had a video of my F-4 trailing 100 feet of flame on take off. It was dumping fuel into the engine bay through a 3 inch fuel line that came apart under 3000 lbs. of pressure. Didn't mess the shorts though. :cool: |
Friggin amazing video!
Right now there are two Being engineers high-fiving each other! |

My brother flew the last of the active duty F4Es, before transitioning to the F15E, and still talks fondly about it. Steve |
Tom, had not seen this before; thanks.
Reminds me of time spent with 18TFW/313AD on Okinawa many years ago. Bob |

One just recently plopped in the ocean after being put back into service after the forward section separated from the rest of the fuselage.
See the video: YouTube - F-15 Breakup Report, January 2008 Here's a video that'll make you all feel better. YouTube - F 15 EAGLE Compilation |
Cool videos. For those that may be doubting the Eagle just remember that as of 2007, the F-15 in all air forces has an air-to-air combined kill record of 104 kills to 0 losses in air combat (one of those is my brother's:D). That's right 104 to zip baby! No other fighter in history has racked up a kill record like that. And at this point that puppy is getting old!

The famous One Wing F-15 is an Israeli airplane that suffered a mid air, back around 1983 or 1984. I was working on the F-15 project at the time, and I can tell you we were pretty surprised, too.
I expect the pilot had his focus concentrated due to the prospect of a crash amongst Arabs that wanted to kill him. The cause of the crash of the F-15 in Hawaii last week has not been determined or reported. The airplane shown in the USAF video is a Missouri National Guard airplane that crashed in November. Since then, the fleet has been inspected and all returned to service except for 9 airplanes with defects similar to those of the lost airplane. I can add a link to the USAF accident report if anyone is interested. |
