They measure holes for all sorts of things....concentricity, edge distance, perpendicularity, not to mention size (interference fit....or close tolerance and so forth). Like they told us, "you aren't adding material back into the hole as you run the drill bit through it a second time." And the ever popular, "The customer is buying a new product, not a repaired one."

The F-15 modernization is exciting for such a remarkable plane. Never shot down but it has 100 kills. It is a solid fighter. I toured the St. Louis plant in 1988. The sound of those engines is enough to make you proud. Shakes the ground.
I loved watching the 3 F15s on radar last night over UK ... I never saw a plane go that high or that fast before I'm like WOW .. How does it go invisible. ..then reappears... Wow. .
IMO, the F-15 is one of the most beautiful and deadly aircraft to ever touch the sky. I love seeing an Eagle take flight, just as I do when I see a Mustang or Spitfire. I sure hope the USAF buys a bunch more of them.
Why do you 'need' A single seater? Having the 2nd seat means that every plane has the option for a second operator if the mission calls for it .. and lots of A2G missions do as evidenced by the Strike Eagle. There's also a benefit to having a few command/control, navigation, & communication guys and some planes may get.optimized for EW operations by adding Growler jamming pods. I also see UCAVs/ loyal wingmen becoming a bigger part of most every mission. EXs accompanied by stealthy ucavs will likely become the norm for 1st day strikes and taking out enemy air defenses where you don't want to risk losing pilots and even stealthy F35s will become more vulnerable and they don't have sufficient on-board fire power by themselves to take on enemy fighters reacting to the initial attacks. F35s will, however, be valuable as they silently lay in wait along side EXs to attack any fighters that do respond .. at which point more EXs loaded up with cruise missiles and other A2G weapons can proceed further forward to take and command & control, air base, infrastructure & enemy troop concentration targets.
Impressed to see the Black Engineers & Electricians who put that effort into making such a lethal flying craft. They weren’t relegated to the background, & that’s part of how you make your team feel valued. - you recognize their inputs + contributions publicly.

At 1:21 they show the most important feature of the new F-15 model.....they re-installed the turkey feathers on the exhaust nozzles. I've missed them ever since they stopped installing them. Looks WAY better with them.
It should be emphasized that the F-15 was designed by McDonnell Douglas who merged with Boeing in ‘97 more than 2 decades after the F-15 first flew. Boeing is now just gilding the gem that was the Genius of McDonnell Douglas.
I GET EMOTIONAL EVERY TIME I WATCH THIS. TEARS OF LOVE FOR MY BABY. THE F-15 WILL ALWAYS!!!.... AND FOREVER BE!!!.... NEAR & DEAR TO ME. ♠️THE VANITY ADDICT♠️
I was a member of the AH-64 Apache team almost from day one back in 1972. We started as part of the Howard Hughes company and then became part of McDonnell Douglas who were then bought by Boeing. One of the things that stands out in my mind was the curtural difference between the commercial side of Boeing (the legacy company) and the militiary side which was the McDonnell Douglas legacy. The military side of Boeing has had nothing but success after success. The latest variant of the F15 is continues that legacy of success.
@@East_Coast_Toasty_Boy honestly the F14 is a huge plane and maintenance wise the Hornet is more efficient and cheaper to maintain. But the F14 does have a place in my heart I’ve always love that plane.
Those conformal fuel cells on the sides of the intakes really do look awesome and they really blend in to the overall design of the aircraft. And the new avionics and weapons system make it very useful along side the F-22 and F-35. All three linked together electronically and acquirering and targeting for each other thru data link makes for one heck of a punch when all three are used together. With a little help from India and their electronic expertise makes this an unbeatable trio. And the new missles being developed and built must really have Russia and China a little nervous about how to handle America's newest hardware in the sky. Go USA. LONG LIVE THE F-15EX.
At 1:18 or so you can see those old Fenwal style overheat detectors. You'd think by now they could have some sort of infrared overheat detectors or an air sampler or something. Just think if one of the detectors in the engine bay fail......that's an engine removal. Crazy in this day and age.
Man, I would love to see the USAF acquire all those 144 units predicted by the military contract. 144 of those could free up a lot of F-22 for deployment overseas or closer to the USA's most far away borders, such as Alaska and Hawaii, while still having what's probably the best 4th gen bird to watch over their skies, and replace the legacy F-15C/D which are slated to be retired.
Maybe when your in your mid 20’s, early 30’s bud, the military in general has people that have been in for a couple years before they go on to flight school.
The Boeing F15EX with advanced avionics, networking, multirole weapon capabilities plus nano carbon radar absorption composite blends and advanced manufacturing technologies produces a significant lower acquisition and operating costs platform with significant greater mission capabilities with leading mission success ratios is truly unmatched by other platforms today and likely well into the future. Hopefully the USAF purchases 500+. It’s all about performance costs benefits ratios. The F15EX wins every time.
I wonder if there's a video of Flight Simulation, testing on F-22A Raptor vs. F-15EX Eagle II in terms of Dogfight, unlike the F-15C Eagles loss to a single F-22 in Dogfight Scenario.
The F-15 legacy fighter is the stuff of legend, the F-15EX is only the Legacy F-15 in appearance , it is closer to an F-22 in performance and avionics without the stealth, but it will dominate the skies in WVR dogfight ( within visual range), and even prevail in most BVR fights because of it's incredible AESA Radar
@Nika Ustašica 96 (UNVACCINATED 1776) :: What Redhawks? Answer: Oregon Air National Guard 142FW/123FS "Redhawks" based at Portland International Airport (KPDX). They are the first unit scheduled to receive the new Eagle to replace their C/D versions. The 123rd started with the A/B as handed down from the 318th based at McChord, AFB and have flown the type since. The Eagle replaced the F-4C which had replaced the F-101B which had replaced the F-102's that I grew up watching as a kid.
A huge difference is Northrop was trying to sell to the USAF an aircraft it didn't want (the Air Force was happy with the F16, they didn't really care too much about the costs increases over the years). On the other hand, the Air Force is not completely happy with the cost (procurement & maintenance) vs. performance of the F35A, plus once we have enough stealth aircraft needed to suppress the air defense and dominate the airspace, stealth requirement is no longer critical for most missions.
I'm glad the USAF is purchasing the F15EX. I suspect its going to be a sucsess and they will replace all the existing F-15's with the EX. I certainly hope they do. Imo we need a mix of stealth fighters and fast, reliable fighters like the EX which can carry a variety of weapons the F35 and F22 cannot.

At 1:18 or so you can see those old Fenwal style overheat detectors. You'd think by now they could have some sort of infrared overheat detectors or an air sampler or something. Just think if one of the detectors in the engine bay fail......that's an engine removal. Crazy in this day and age.
With the added computer flight controls that is a big improvement.
Man, I would love to see the USAF acquire all those 144 units predicted by the military contract. 144 of those could free up a lot of F-22 for deployment overseas or closer to the USA's most far away borders, such as Alaska and Hawaii, while still having what's probably the best 4th gen bird to watch over their skies, and replace the legacy F-15C/D which are slated to be retired.
Incredible job Boeing! Well done!!
The F15E has always been my fave.
I’m 13 so can’t wait to fly it in a few years!
Maybe when your in your mid 20’s, early 30’s bud, the military in general has people that have been in for a couple years before they go on to flight school.
@@ethangrew745 most pilots come strait out of college so no
It starts with the dream. Keep dreaming and aim high.
spotting at lakenheath with these is going to be a beautiful sight! Getting itchy to get back down to that veiwing area!
Lakenheath is getting F-35's not EX's
@@jrftworth Lakenheath is geting F-15EXs aswell as F-35s from the 495th
The king is back . Long life for the king 👑
The Boeing F15EX with advanced avionics, networking, multirole weapon capabilities plus nano carbon radar absorption composite blends and advanced manufacturing technologies produces a significant lower acquisition and operating costs platform with significant greater mission capabilities with leading mission success ratios is truly unmatched by other platforms today and likely well into the future. Hopefully the USAF purchases 500+.
It’s all about performance costs benefits ratios. The F15EX wins every time.
The F15 shall live forever!
Literally a 50 year old airframe :O
Which proves they got it right all those years ago
@@michaelsalt4565 Also that procurement climates have changed and programs since have failed to deliver.
Your country has literally 1,000 rubles in the bank.
@@williams_57 LOL didn't take long for the nationalism to come out.
@@TheRussian1 it also proves that advanced western technology will defeat all of our opponents.
I wonder if there's a video of Flight Simulation, testing on F-22A Raptor vs. F-15EX Eagle II in terms of Dogfight, unlike the F-15C Eagles loss to a single F-22 in Dogfight Scenario.
The F-15 legacy fighter is the stuff of legend, the F-15EX is only the Legacy F-15 in appearance , it is closer to an F-22 in performance and avionics without the stealth, but it will dominate the skies in WVR dogfight ( within visual range), and even prevail in most BVR fights because of it's incredible AESA Radar
Can't wait to see the EX in the colours of the Redhawks! Standing ovation to Team F-15EX.
@Shiho Miyano Richard Faulkner was referring to Boeing's new jet trainer for the Air Force, the T-7A Red Hawk.
What Redhawks? Answer: Oregon Air National Guard 142FW/123FS "Redhawks" based at Portland International Airport (KPDX).
@Nika Ustašica 96 (UNVACCINATED 1776) :: What Redhawks? Answer: Oregon Air National Guard 142FW/123FS "Redhawks" based at Portland International Airport (KPDX). They are the first unit scheduled to receive the new Eagle to replace their C/D versions. The 123rd started with the A/B as handed down from the 318th based at McChord, AFB and have flown the type since. The Eagle replaced the F-4C which had replaced the F-101B which had replaced the F-102's that I grew up watching as a kid.
This is a smart move for the USAF.
I really love that part, made in America...
That jet looks super cool. Cant wait till it drops some missiles. That will be a cool sight
Aren't all the POCs Boeing wants to impress us with so adorable?
F15 EX simply fantástic 🇧🇷
Reminds me of the F-20 progam in the 80s.
A huge difference is Northrop was trying to sell to the USAF an aircraft it didn't want (the Air Force was happy with the F16, they didn't really care too much about the costs increases over the years). On the other hand, the Air Force is not completely happy with the cost (procurement & maintenance) vs. performance of the F35A, plus once we have enough stealth aircraft needed to suppress the air defense and dominate the airspace, stealth requirement is no longer critical for most missions.
2:01 Proud To See A Familiar Name🙏
Probably born and brought up there
The BEST pilots deserve the BEST fighters in the known galaxy! Period!
I'm kinda surprised they didn't incorporate design features from the Silent Eagle.
F-35 finds the targets and f-15ex fires a shitload of missiles at them from out of range. Love it
Fly high eagle You are America's symbol.Well done Boeing.Let no competitor come close.Knock them down.Get it done!
F 16 is my favorite aircraft but I also like f 15 fighter jet ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💕💕
the eagle is back
The F-15E Super Eagle, is what I would have named it. Even the F-18 upgraded to the Super Hornet.
Sweet “blink and you miss it” move at 0.33
I hope the same thing is done with the 16 and the A-10. Simply modernize an incredibly capable platform.
Indonesia Air Force have to buy this one
I'm glad the USAF is purchasing the F15EX. I suspect its going to be a sucsess and they will replace all the existing F-15's with the EX. I certainly hope they do. Imo we need a mix of stealth fighters and fast, reliable fighters like the EX which can carry a variety of weapons the F35 and F22 cannot.
