Really good stuff, there! Reminds me of the ICT's we had to do with the F-111's in the UK. Loved 'em! Working Victor Alert was sheer boredom, followed by pure adrenaline, sometimes. Nice job, man. Do it for as long as you can. You'll miss it when it's gone!
Six minutes and 49 seconds to get the jet off the ground, and that is not from when the klaxon blows. When we had a Zulu commitment in Germany, we had our birds in the air in 5 minutes. Maybe some of the old "cold warriors" need to show the kids how it is done?
@buddness Australian friend of mighty USA here. Love your military you guys! Keep it up. Love the F-15!!!! Good to see the best of the best. There is a lot to do in that 3 minutes. Very good work!
World's best air force: Absolutely! Looks like you were clear chocks only 3 min 10 sec after APU start-up. For an Eagle, that's par... and outstanding!!! Flight restrictions be damned, fly the paint off!!!! I say to hell with what Congress wants. More C-17's, more -22's, another block extension for the -16's, more -15's, mod 10+ B-52's to "J" mod, address TriCare properly, drop this "second engine" crap for the -35, and develop the next bomber. Now!!!! Keep 'em flying!
being a new F-15E crew chief that was pretty baller. cant wait until i have to start doing that shit. oh wait i never will because my unit doesnt deploy at nellis
Tell the pilot to hurry the hell up. Maintainers are working their asses off, and he's still getting dressed. This actually surprised me quite a bit, very similar to Marine Corps hornet launches. Mad respect to everyone (even the pilot) in the video.

@davids122 I didn't really see any DSV's. It looks pretty smooth. I did an awesome job relaying those hand signals and stacking the chocks.
That was an awesome launch! I'm the best fire-guarder ever. The pilot was a little so, but it was only practice. Safety First.

Nice vid! Slow is smooth, smooth is fast!
IMPRESSIVE!!,...and i know nothing about it. F-15c is still king of the sky.
@jonesy97 Love the F-111s. Australia stupidly just retired them.
@buddness
Would love to see suraxis sleep in his work gear.
