Yes it is, F15 has the best combat record of any fighter ever made.

Last I looked it was 101.5 combat victories(not sure what a.5 is) and ZERO combat losses.

Shes a little old now and would have a hard time going toe to toe with the new kids, but shes a tough old *****.

I saw the XB-70 in Ohio- it was an unbelievable machine. loaded with problems though. We learned a lot from it. Like at mach 3 a 1 degree change in rudder causes a 3000fpm climb or dive.

A high speed flyby by the rockwell b1b with the wing folded waaaay back is pretty incredible as well. carries more tha anything we got today at mach speeds.

Good stuff Chris.

Have you ever seen the story about the 15 that flew and landed after having a whole wing torn off in a midair?



The MD techreps thought it was a taxi accident. They didn't believe it happened in the air.

Back in the 80's, the Concorde visited the EAA in Oshkosh, WI. Upon arrival, it performed a touch and go, bank right w/full afterburners. The exhaust was then pointed directly at the crowd. That was the loudest sound I ever heard to this day. That bird had some serious HP

Here's one that would have been unbelieveable to see flying.

makes the SR71 look like a toy

Anyone recognize the interviewer?

[Sea-Dated]

DAMN!!!!! Those are awesome!!!!

This is probably the loudest of all our military planes. Way louder than a B-1

We gave our 111's to the Australians. The're putting them to good use. Or at least hving fun with them. here's one breaking the windows out of and blowing the siding and spouting off of an observation post.

[Bobcat]

The F-111 had two different rides for TFR or terrain following radar , soft ride which adjusted slowly to upcoming objects , and hard ride which made adjustments at the last second, caused a lot of earlier accidents because the pilot would try to wrest control from the computer when he thought it wasn't working. also the gattling gun could not be fired because the gunsmoke would stall out the engines.

The new FA-18 Super Hornet (larger than the FA-18 hornet) will give anyone a run for their money on noise. especially the fact that Navy Pilots practice carrier approach even while landing on Navy Bases !

I should have taken a trip on the Concorde (just not that one flight that never got out of France ). I had been to Europe a few times before that crash but the ticket on the Concorde would have spent more than the whole vacation travel budget!

[Chris]

All you can tell from the inside is how long you're in there.

[cigdaze]

Thanks! Great vid.


I can't tell you how much I miss the Tomcats. What a classic, elegant aircraft.

[Chris]

Just for you Nick-
