When he said "stolen.... or, eh, borrowed" I couldn't help picture a crew chief scratching his head while looking at an F-18 with it's rudders missing.
The F14 has my heart, but if I had to pick a ride-or-die aircraft, and I couldn't pick an F22, it'd be the F15EX. Incredible radar, incredible power, can limp it home missing one wing....I freakin adore this airplane.
I think the thing that catches my attention most about this is how most videos with the F22 is just a series of summary executions reformatted to be a slam-dunk competition. All of these fly-outs were actually hard fights that allowed substantially longer time-in-mission than I'd have guessed at.
The production variant is called the F-22. Stealth, super cruise, its the whole 9 yards and then some. I will admit though that F-15 does look good with some upgrades.
@@loganproksch9305 f-22 is pretty much an eagle it followed the same concepts...... giant f'ing wings and the most powerful engines in the world for the time, just less hardpoints and the drawbacks of stealth.
Interesting to see your aviation history documentary-style blended with your usual 1st-person flight mission upload. to provide context. Works well! 👍👍👍
The F15 tech demonstrator lacks the Raptor's Pratt and Witney F119 engines. There are a few reasons why this type of super-cruise engine should have been used in the F35 in all but the vertical takeoff version. I remember seeing this F15 back in the early 90s in an article. I thought all subsequent F15s would be built similarly. But, like the F16XL, the Airforce didn't use it. Thanks for explaining why.
Damn straight. And, @GrowlingSidewinder, a lot of us would be ever so joyous if you decided to do just that- become proficient in the S/MTD and use it against everything that flies!
I'm starting to wonder if the 9x looping has something to do with launch speed. These super-maneuverable dogfights are getting slower and slower, and we are seeing more and more 9x loop kills.
@@angrydragon4574 it's really just an export (and earlier) version of the EX, giving it a far superior engine and better avionics than the old C or E models. I hear that at airshows (the QA, not sure if any airshows with the EX have shown such maneuvers), it's been pulling off maneuvers you'd normally see from supermaneuverable jets. So while yes, not as impressive as the STOL/MTD, it's an improved eagle that's an actual production model.
That Tokyo-drift over the top to gun kill was disgusting! My mouth was open and everything. Warn someone next time you decide to let one of those loose, ok?!

11:08 - F-15 STOL/MTD: "Hey, I'm doing pretty well here! I'm 1-0 against a Raptor! And I look really cool doing it, if I say so myself. Any other fighter would have hit the ground back there...." Raptor: Brrrrrrrrrrtttt Thanks for bringing us this fantasy matchup, GS!! 😃
Love your videos! I have followed for a few years now. I like the combination of jet facts, explanations for BFM, and the comedy! I do hope to see more of Longshot soon. You two push great content. All the best!
Awesome video. I really appreciate the mini-doc in the beginning. The upgraded F-15 is particularly interesting. McDonnell Douglas did offer up an upgraded Eagle , the F-15XX, which used most of the F-15SMTD technology. USAF, didn't bite. They wanted nothing that would threaten ATF.
I love these types of videos that are historical hypotheticals. I find the little history lesson really fascinating and you should do more stuff with experimental aircraft like this.
Oh man, I was so hoping you were going to do this fight against an F-22, that first kill was awesome man, good job. And wo what a freak'n awesome dodge from getting shot. That F-15 is an interesting fighter, but go the F-22 man, what a beast. Shit I hope you do this fight with an FA-18, that would be a pretty sick fight. Lived this vid and the channel as always. Good on you champ.
man it's so cool seeing the F-15 STOL dance, absolutely had me rolling "Not over till the fat lady sings" i had a suspicious feeling that immediate removal from the F-15 would quickly follow xD
That bit of info at the beginning was a great touch. I love to learn about the US planes and development, couple that with the excellent skills in your video's and you have an amazing video all round. I really love that F22, I wonder how much the F15 stol/mtd influenced the manoeuvrability of the Raptor.
I've talked to the people who worked on the F-15 ACTIVE (when the STOL/MTD got 3-D TVC). I asked if they upgraded the motors to F100-PW-129s, they smiled and said "bigger". I commented about the massive Hornet-Tal of a canard coupled with the TVC as giving them some pretty amazing potential to which they replied "It'll beat up on the Raptor all day in close"
An Interesting way to look at it would be to realize that every f22 victory in this is still an f15 active victory as everything the active was built for to do was to demonstrate the tech to make the f22. The f22 is the success story of the f15 active. This fight really is the father seeing the son grow past what the father ever was and being extremely proud of rhat
Hey GS, I bet on round 2 the only reason the F-22 didn't open fire was because it looked like he was about to get a maneuver kill on you. It was incredibly close too. Thanks for the video, this was a very interesting fight.

Yes.
That would be a hell of a great fight.
Mfw just using F18 stabilators as casual canard. Imagine if it had been fully optimized and developed from the ground up

@@andersjjensen isn't it the elevators and not the rudders?
I'd imagine it would be similar to an f-22 even with decades between their times of development.
@@Rose_Butterfly98 yes, i think he just goofed up lol
McDonnell Douglas manufactured both the Eagle and Hornet, so they just grabbed whatever they had sitting on the shelf.

"The [F-22] will have the same tactical advantage over the F-15, that the F-15 has over the Goodyear blimp."
-- Dell Jacobs
If it had gone into production, I'd have nicknamed it Seraphim, due to its six wings.
That's tight.
The F-15 ACTIVE is one of my favorite aircraft ever, cool to see it can hold its own against an F-22
That Ghost Grey camo on the demonstrator looks amazing. Makes you wonder what a "production variant" might have looked like.
bro, round 3 was straight out some main-character type of move
that first kill was insane, never seen a missile loop that hard
Just search Python 5 videos of GS...
(go to front/main page of GS and put Python 5 into search field)
8:32 The missile definitely knew where it was that day.
enjoyed the history recap at the beginning, you should do this more often !

That title is a mouthful. Can we just name it Joe? Or maybe Greg?
F-15: "I could have been a KING!"
F-22: "I was already a god."
Interesting to see your aviation history documentary-style blended with your usual 1st-person flight mission upload. to provide context.
Works well! 👍👍👍
watching you get in that tight downward roller is like watching two eagles fighting where they hook claws in a death spiral.
A dogfight between the F-15E and Su-34 might be interesting since they are both strike aircraft based on air superiority fighters.
For real though- that differential thrust rollover was ridiculous. Well done.
Imagine sitting in your second story apartment and hearing a roar only to see an F-15 pass below your window 😳

I can't help but feel that with a little more seat time, you'd become quite nasty with that plane.
Damn straight.
And, @GrowlingSidewinder, a lot of us would be ever so joyous if you decided to do just that- become proficient in the S/MTD and use it against everything that flies!
I can't wait for the F-15 EX-EAGLE 2 video when it becomes a thing
I'm starting to wonder if the 9x looping has something to do with launch speed. These super-maneuverable dogfights are getting slower and slower, and we are seeing more and more 9x loop kills.
I think it's a combination of slow speed and how close they are. They're SO close the 9x not only has energy to loop it's actually still under power.😮
Always love to see the STOL/MTD. 4/2 to a Raptor is still pretty good for an aircraft physically built in the mid/late 70s.
I don’t know if anyone else has said this yet, but I love these historical recap intros. Please do more of them
There’s a good reason they ditched all the 3d vectoring and canards for a reason. Other countries are just now following behind our developments
It's a cost benefit- if you build for mass combat, individual performance doesn't matter as much.
I was really rooting for the F15 STOL MVD but in the end a Raptor must feast.
the STOL MTD might be my favourite looking fighter of all time. That livery is so damn cool
@@specc_s1452 ?
Just think, you're playing outside one afternoon and out of the blue, an experimental F-15 dips down and gives you a haircut.
That Rd 3 kill was like areal Jujitsu. Very impressive rolling over the Raptor like that. Well done.
10:17 Is this a flying chrismas tree, Mommy?
No Sonny Jim, that's a lunatic in a F15 STOL MTD.
That F-15 differential kill grants you awards for style points
Seeing any variant of the F-15 put up a fight against the Raptor is impressive, go Eagle!
“I think I can hear a fat lady s…” *BOOM*!
That had me in stitches! 🤣🤣🤣
Basically a normal f15 but on steroids
Indeed 😂
Now it's a normal F-15 with hemmaroids.....

We don't really have to wonder how good the F-15 could have been. The F-15QA already gives us a good idea and it can still get better.
What's the capabilities of that one? This is the first time I'm hearing of that variant.
