427SuperSnake1 "yes and no at the same time" : too much for my brain xD But you're right, the take off is not that vertical. I didn't mean to be aggressive in my answer, I was just wondering ^^"
@Paulo76 - after 4 years - :D It can be called a "vertical takeoff", but it is also called an elevator run or elevator ride. If we want to be very technical, it is a vertical climb. It's basically when you accumulate speed, and then pull on the stick like there is no tomorrow, to achieve a vertical position and leave the area rather elegantly. It is generally an airshow element and has no practical uses other than avoiding flocks of birds that may come head on.
Never really appreciated just how big of a bird the F15 is. I recently started taking flying lessons in a Cessna and seeing a similar plane next to the F-15 was kind of an eye-opener.
@@michaeldavis9774 True enough. They were never designed to operate on carriers though, so it makes sense that they’re big birds. Such an iconic fighter too.

I know the F-22 is more advanced & deadly but the F-15 will always be my all time fav fighter plane. It's a beautiful design, fast, agile, versatile & has a perfect combat record. Doesn't get much better than that.
I've seen an F-15 do a real vertical climb at an ANG base. During an airshow it made a low & slow pass, gear and flaps hanging out, then went to afterburner, sucked everything up and went vertical. I could see it actually accelerate before it became a dot then disappeared directly above the runway. The noise was incredible and the whole thing was just beautiful.
I tell you as an Eagle Rider, more people need to experience just that - the "Max Climb" the power is just insane. While cruising, then maxing it out to get to Mach, is also pretty impressive.
1. Absolutely nothing happens before 3:05... For a title "full afterburner vertical take off", to show 3:05 of boring taxi is a major UGH. 2. fwiw, fifteen seconds from power to rotation. 3. Not really a vertical takeoff, on the second pass the SE goes into a steep climb.
It is fun to watch any piece of equipment with that much power take off. I bet every non military pilot on the field that day took a moment to watch in awe.
Some people enjoy just looking at an aircraft from various angles and hearing the sounds. Not every video on TH-cam has to just show the landing or takeoff part. This is a good video.
I actually like this very much and appreciate you sharing it. Sound and quality are great. The best F-15E taxi & take off I have yet to find. And a shout out to Cleveland Hopkins for hosting some of the best airshows I've ever seen.
It is really amazing, how big the F-15 seems compared to the other planes. But yeah - the take off was definitely not exactly vertical [otherwise we could save our money for the STOL F-35 variant].
Zack Poll In aviation a "vertical take off" is something, what a F-35B or a Harrier will do - lift off without runway - hence a F-15 can't do it due to its concept [neither any other plane except of the mentioned and maybe the Osprey [however this is not a jet] and helicopters.
Vince M Yeah - you are right. But the Osprey is a bit of a crossbreed. Anyway the F-15 is definitely NOT a VTOL - and I guess we have the same viewpoint!
In 1980 I worked next to the McDonnell Douglas factory in St. Louis where the F-15 was manufactured. I worked outside 90% of the time and watched the new ones take off on their first flights, very,very impressive. Each takeoff was a short taxi then full throttle nose straight up and out of sight in a matter of seconds. The sound was unbelievable and the ground would shake like an earthquake. The F-18 was made there too, they were powerful and could go vertical but couldn't climb nearly as fast as the Eagle.
Thanks for the reply, Capt. Yeah, when they're sitting on the ramp, or even taxiing out, the top of the intake is dropped/ sloped downward. I figured it was an airflow issue, but I just wasn't sure. I figured some CC would chime in with the answer, eventually. Thanks!
Well, I like this vid. The sound is fantastic, the close ups are excellent and I like the contrast of th e F15s against the various business jets at the airport. I love the way the old guys laugh as they watch the take offs. And knife edge departure is SO COOL. I love this vid. Brilliant !
To me F-15 is one of the most fascinating jet fighters. I am curious (A what if question here) if they produced a model that combines both the F-15 ACTIVE / Silent Eagle with the lastest radar electronic equipment would we really have the need for the f-22? And wouldn't that be more efficient and effective to build off of a proven platform that has actual experience rather than a whole new plane that is ( from my understanding ) questionable?
The advanced F-15 would do pretty well for awhile but it's still basically a Gen 4 aircraft with some added capabilities. It would probably hold it's own for awhile but once China & Russia perfect their Gen 5 fighters, I think it would be in trouble. As far as the F-22 goes, it is a very capable plane (many say the best in the world) & although it hasn't seen any air to air combat yet, it has done quite well in friendly mock dogfights against newer foreign fighters. It also has better radar, stealth capabilities (internal weapons, flat angular shapes that redirect radar signals) & super cruise which gives it the ability to fly faster than the speed of sound for a long time without afterburners. So it's def a step up from the F-15 & although not totally necessary right now, probably will be in the near future.
DahFuqIsDisCrapFer It "seems" You misunderstood what I'm saying. I'm basically saying if they could combine the active and silent eagle as another variant for f-15 line up. So it could more powerful to still guard the skies and could assist until the 5th gens are more obtainable in numbers and price. Russia had did this well with their 4th gen Sukoi's and Migs. Boeing had just did this with the F/A-18 Advanced Super Hornet to give it a stealth like capabilities, larger payload capacity, longer flight time, better maneuverability etc and it fits the bill. I'm not saying the f-22 is trash like the way your interpreting it.
leave it to the trolls, not Vertical like a helicopter or the AV-8B, but Vertical as in 90 Degree pitch up from 0 degrees. though the second 15 did not go 90 degrees. more like 50-60 Degrees.
***** you do realize "Vertical" also means a 90 Degree pitch up as in nose pointing directly in the sky at 90 degrees to horizon? though these 15's did not achieve 90 Degrees. not the same VTOL Vertical as most people on the net ( you & Wiley ) assume it means. This is 90 Degrees: www.freeimageslive.co.uk/image/view/2687/_original This is also 90 Degrees: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/80/Armed_with_AIM-9_Sidewinder_missiles,_a_pair_of_F-16A_Fighting_Falcon_aircraft_of_the_120th_Fighter_Interceptor_Group,_Montana_Air_National_Guard,_climb_skyward_at_a_90_degree_angle_while_flying_a_mission_near_F3006-SPT-9000-0001-XX.jpg This is also 90 degrees, but in a dive: joatmoaf.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/62fs_pics_011.jpg 90 Degree Climb from cockpit view: www.shaunscrackedcompass.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/vlcsnap-2013-11-27-12h22m10s163.png all these climbs are known as "Vertical 90 Degrees" next time do some research before trolling and looking like a fool. and, yes i am a pilot, i DO know what i am talking about.
Seen many F-15s on bases around the World as a GS-15. The taxi is great but too much of it in this video. I was at Osan AFB (South Korea 1991-1993) and was able to get a great shot at the end of the runway of an F-16 and later an F-15 departing. The base sent a dude to our location and said no more photos. The cool thing was the blast from the engines was getting to us from a few hundred feet away. A person could smell the fuel. Had a few A-10s at Osan too.
I got the 14, the 15 and the 16 in my top five lol, love how the numbers go up from 14-16 and they are still in my top faves! Phantom is up there as well! My four faves of all times with the 5th one being the P-38 Lightning, I know older but man what a machine! Those are my fave 5 ever.
This one and the F14 were always my fave Jets of all times! That won't change anytime soon! I love the fact one is still flying though! One retired too early. I agree baddest thing in the sky today! Legendary jet!
At an air show I saw an F-15 fly along a runway "dirty" --- gear and flaps hanging out --- then suck everything up, go to full afterburner and pull into a vertical climb and actually accelerate. It climbed straight up, out of sight, with a tremendous roar. An F-15 in the sky is always louder than anything else. VERY impressive!
When I worked at Mc Donnel Aircraft at Edwards AFB, I was an avionics tech on the ASAT program. The Fi15 can contune accelerating straight up until the engines flam out at 75,000 ft. But it would continue coasting to 105,000 ft. When they actually did the satellite shoot down, they used a three stage missile, launched at 35,000 ft. I was on the early part of the project. Imagine, coasting six miles straight up without engines.
Was lucky enough to see the F-15 in Darwin a couple of years ago while they were up there up there on the Pitch Black exercises. What an amazing aircraft. Nice vid mate.
can the fighter pilots do an un-controlled rapid climb in international airport the moment they are off the ground or do they still need to follow a certain climb rate?
Well, i'm in the USAF; career officer; all these comments about "vertical" or not are interesting; ive been in the back seat of F-15's, F-16's many times; that was a few degrees off of a vertical; but the video ended right before the aircraft went true vertical
Conformal Fuel Tank. They are mounted only on E-Models to give higher fuel load and extra bomb racks for the E-Model's air-to-ground role. You can see the CFT clearly at reference 1:47, just behind the lowered intake ramp. The CFT has the red/white emblem on it.
I got this and the Tomcat up there as the best ever made, BAR NONE! Hate one or love one they are the most iconic Jets in our history! I am a fan of both unlike some, period.
We practice these maneuvers to keep proficient when we do have to be on Alert for both Air Defense and SAR. Its saved many lives being able to be on station in minutes of accidents.
When I was a child two friends and I were into fighter jets. One loved the F-14, one loved the F-16, and I chose the F-15 as my favorite. I don't regret my decision, and I suppose they didn't either. They're all awesome machines anyway, but I still think the F-15 is awesomer. :)
I'm 13 and it's my dream to be a fighter pilot. F-22 Raptor, A-10 Warthog, and F/A 18 Super Hornets are my favorite, and it's my dream job to fly these in the USAF
It is to allow better air flow to the engines at different speeds. When jet engines start they are wide open or locked to get air flow to start engine. As jet gets faster or slower the ramps vary as the speed changes.
Vertical take off is exactly what the space shuttle used to do and this is not vertical although it is on full AB. I got my incentive ride and thankfully the clouds cleared up allowing us to do a full AB vertical - sea level to 17,000 ft. in under 10 seconds! Mach run, 0 g, flying upside-down and sideways - awesome ride at Kadena AB, Okinawa Japan.
Yeah, we lit the burners with brakes on, then stayed level with gear up, picking up speed, pilot then asks, "You ready to pull some G's?" I said yes sir! And BAM! The stick slams back and we're like the shuttle. I felt the G-suit squeeze stomach, calves and thighs, then I heard the pilot breathing/grunting - OH S**T I forgot! That's when tunnel vision set in so I flipped the O2 supply to 100%, no good, I was done and just then we go inverted and then level. I was in bad shape after that but didn't throw up. Up comes my friend in the wingman jet, same thing - he threw up A LOT though!! What a ride!!!
Great video! Those guys are based out of Seymour Johnson here in NC. I've been to several air shows there and these guys always put on a heck of a show!
On F-15's, the geometry of the engine intakes changes- the top part angles up/down a few degrees, in both ways, when needed. Does anybody know why/ what this is for?
although not technically a vertical take off, it is a vertical climb. the f-15 has a thrust to weight ratio of more than 1, thus capable of vertical flight
You know what, your absolutely correct, I remember the F-22 that was supposed to be headliner at Selfridge Airforce base years ago when that wing walker fell couldn't go up due to the oxygen problems they just had it grounded and wouldn't let anyone near it. Nice display by other fighters there that year though, its the home base of the A-10's and huge squad of F-16's and the air tankers.
Dear jss747, Vertical take-off means going about 90 degrees up from the ground. For example, you must be on the ground, NOT MOVING, and then go 90 degrees up, or vertical. Then it can be called Vertical Take-off, or in other words, VTOL.
![คบซ้อน - วงL.กฮ. [ Official MV ]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/5MtesqJ0I1c/mqdefault.jpg)
well... you should remove the word vertical from the title dude..
definitely,i agree wth u mate
Ikr
i was WTF when did f15 learned to VTOL
Agreed
@@donsalieri9842 yeah
That was hardly a vertical takeoff especially for an F-15. How did you pass geometry?
You were really expecting to see a F15 take off vertically?
Well it's not an F-35 or a Harrier so no. But I was expecting it to go vertical after rotation. So the answer is yes and no at the same time.

real vertical? so it was a Harrier?
4:02 minutes of my life gone!!
Elaborate further please
Not even close to vertical
Thank you for sharing America's finest. This is tip of the spear with the efforts of many behind it.
Also, thank you for no maddening music.
I loved that the guy handing off the plane touches the wing as it passes.

would you like some cheese with that whine.whiney baby.
This video was approximately 4 minutes and 1 second too long. I should have read the comments first!

Thanks, I have a cat already! Still doesn't change the fact the video is too long! But I appreciate the gesture!
It is fun to watch any piece of equipment with that much power take off. I bet every non military pilot on the field that day took a moment to watch in awe.
could watch these all day,the pilots flying these are one hell of a lucky guys
Some people enjoy just looking at an aircraft from various angles and hearing the sounds. Not every video on TH-cam has to just show the landing or takeoff part. This is a good video.
If the title were "F15 taxies, takes off, and makes a steep climb", then it would be a properly-posted video. 2M hits means the video itself is great.
331SVTCobra 2M hits means that quite many people wanted to see a F15 make a frikin' vertical take off :D

Could watch these machines taxi all day!!! Take off was kick ass!!! Thanks for the Vid!
F-15 Eagle 0 to 30000 feet in 60 seconds what an aircraft to think it first flew in 1974 .

It first flew was in 1972 .

Vince M Yeah - you are right. But the Osprey is a bit of a crossbreed. Anyway the F-15 is definitely NOT a VTOL - and I guess we have the same viewpoint!
i think you misspelled VTOL because STOL is a short takeof and landing not vertical
Your vids are amazing, such good quality! Keep 'em coming!
Super Great I had the pleasure of watching the very first ones during flight testing way back in 1972-3--4
3 min of garbage the good stuff starts

Just a thing of beauty!!

oh ye guys hold your screen vertical and you will see a vertical takeoff
If you hold your screen sideways it's vertical!! 9yrs late on my comment! Don't know how I'm watching this!!

i like the fact that u told us when take off takes place
Great video but nothing beats being there in person. I loved watching the air shows at Meacham field in Ft Worth Texas when I lived there.
most beautiful jet
Don't know about you malcontents, but I enjoyed watching this magnificent plane taxiing.
that dark grey painting just looks evil! by far the most beautiful fighter iv seen.
Proper show off there! Amazing jet!
can the fighter pilots do an un-controlled rapid climb in international airport the moment they are off the ground or do they still need to follow a certain climb rate?
Yes. I wasn't listing all of them. I just wanted to give the top two examples. Thank you for researching and providing the list of other aircraft.
That's an F-15E (Strike Eagle) out of Seymour Johnson AFB assigned to the 333rd Fighter Squadron "Lancers". Built in 1987.
My dad was stationed at Langley from '81-'84 with the 71st Fighter Squadron. He worked on the weapons system with the F-15 C.

I got this and the Tomcat up there as the best ever made, BAR NONE! Hate one or love one they are the most iconic Jets in our history! I am a fan of both unlike some, period.
Still holds the best air to air combat ratio ever
We practice these maneuvers to keep proficient when we do have to be on Alert for both Air Defense and SAR. Its saved many lives being able to be on station in minutes of accidents.
When I was a child two friends and I were into fighter jets. One loved the F-14, one loved the F-16, and I chose the F-15 as my favorite. I don't regret my decision, and I suppose they didn't either. They're all awesome machines anyway, but I still think the F-15 is awesomer. :)
I AGREE W U F15 IS MY FAVORITE AS WELL!
I'm 13 and it's my dream to be a fighter pilot. F-22 Raptor, A-10 Warthog, and F/A 18 Super Hornets are my favorite, and it's my dream job to fly these in the USAF
Rin Okumura the f 18 is a navy plane
Rin Okumura the bastards are replacing the A-10 with f-35s
I bet the A-10s could easily survive the same beating multiple F-35s could take
Thank you for answering my question buddy! Will these strikers be replaced by '35's ?
the f15 is fluffing invincible!
True that, I've seen a vid where an Israeli pilot landed an F 15 with one wing
_eleite_ i saw that to!
Hey thanks for the comment!
It is to allow better air flow to the engines at different speeds. When jet engines start they are wide open or locked to get air flow to start engine. As jet gets faster or slower the ramps vary as the speed changes.
Fond memories of my days on the ramp at Langley. Watched many Eagles stay vertical til out of sight.
Exactly. Good call.
Saw this happen today from my back yard in Camas. They took off from PDX!!! Freakin' awesome!!!!
Vertical take off is exactly what the space shuttle used to do and this is not vertical although it is on full AB. I got my incentive ride and thankfully the clouds cleared up allowing us to do a full AB vertical - sea level to 17,000 ft. in under 10 seconds! Mach run, 0 g, flying upside-down and sideways - awesome ride at Kadena AB, Okinawa Japan.
I once got to ride along in a F-111B. Scared the shit out of me, but I'd do it again in a heart beat.
Yeah, we lit the burners with brakes on, then stayed level with gear up, picking up speed, pilot then asks, "You ready to pull some G's?" I said yes sir! And BAM! The stick slams back and we're like the shuttle. I felt the G-suit squeeze stomach, calves and thighs, then I heard the pilot breathing/grunting - OH S**T I forgot! That's when tunnel vision set in so I flipped the O2 supply to 100%, no good, I was done and just then we go inverted and then level. I was in bad shape after that but didn't throw up. Up comes my friend in the wingman jet, same thing - he threw up A LOT though!! What a ride!!!
I'll always miss the sound of the F-15 taking off. 4th FW Seymour Johnson NC aircraft!
Great video! Those guys are based out of Seymour Johnson here in NC. I've been to several air shows there and these guys always put on a heck of a show!
On F-15's, the geometry of the engine intakes changes- the top part angles up/down a few degrees, in both ways, when needed. Does anybody know why/ what this is for?
Keep postin the vids i like these :)
Goosebumps.
although not technically a vertical take off, it is a vertical climb. the f-15 has a thrust to weight ratio of more than 1, thus capable of vertical flight
i love how the title says "vertical take off" as opposed to the more common horizontal take off.
Thankyou so much for film of ground buildings at the airport. Have you ever seen an aircraft, jss747?
Great video
Best vertical I've seen
How much fuel does an F-15 used on a full after burner take off?
thanks for posting...
beautiful aircraft =) do you have any footage of JAS 39 Griffin?
Nice video - thanks!
Nothing like a sound of a afterburner.
Great stuff. Thanks! :)
wow that a beautiful aircraft even today.
You know what, your absolutely correct, I remember the F-22 that was supposed to be headliner at Selfridge Airforce base years ago when that wing walker fell couldn't go up due to the oxygen problems they just had it grounded and wouldn't let anyone near it. Nice display by other fighters there that year though, its the home base of the A-10's and huge squad of F-16's and the air tankers.
Possibly the most horizontal vertical takeoff iv'e ever seen.
Man I miss hearing that sound everyday.
Interesting ground crewman @2.25

THEN watch as he walks away. He reaches up and touches the wing for luck
I always thought that vertical meant "up-and-down". That plane took off side-to-side, or "horizontally".
F-15 has got to be one of the nicest looking fighters ever designed. Hope the Eagle stays around for a long long time.
Dear jss747,
Vertical take-off means going about 90 degrees up from the ground. For example, you must be on the ground, NOT MOVING, and then go 90 degrees up, or vertical. Then it can be called Vertical Take-off, or in other words, VTOL.
The plane is vertical, just not the way everyone imagined.
