It got airborne in about 6 plane lengths! If you look closely at the very beginning... There is a steel cable holding the plane still. The engines are producing so much thrust... That even with the brakes locked solid... They would still push the plane forward !
I remember seeing this video at Commander's Call when I was stationed at Myrtle Beach in the 354th AMS. It was impressive then, as it still is now.
There's another great 20ish minute YT video, with some great music that has some cockpit shots, time and altitude displays, etc.
Such a great F-15!
Thank you.
Streak Eagle record setting flights were conducted in Jan and Feb 1975 at Grand Forks AFB, North Dakota.
Greatest fighter of all time. Please fix thumbnail of this video, from F-16 to F-15 thank you.
Let's see the XF-108 rapier
Never built, never flew. Existed
at North American Aviation as a mock up only.
haha...clueless
What year is the footage from?
How did the flyer not black out on that low pull up??
G suit ! Regardless of that.. It would be a VERY rough ride!
because he's a fighter pilot.
Seems like a really short take off run
