076 - F-15E Strike Eagle

I wonder what the maneuverability and BFM capabilities of the Strike Eagle are if you remove the CTF from it. In theory, it is a heavier than C model, but the 229 engines give so much thrust that it should be better than the F-15C in dogfight and turn rates, or am I wrong?

Lord. These guys are stiff

Top 👍👍

We're they talking about F-15E version equipped with F100-PW-22 engines with regards of 1.6 Mach performance limit?

For notoriety in media, the F-15E is the signature aircraft of Ace Combat 6.

Wherewithal doesn’t mean situational awareness nor some other cognitive function. It means walking around money. Just watch the first few minutes of the John Wayne version of Trie Grit to see it used properly.

1:02 I’m obsessed with this music. I’ve searched Jaime Lopez but haven’t found anything other than some Latin stuff. Anyone know of any place to find Jaime’s music, or this song specifically?

And, if we are very fortunate - we will soon have a DCS F-15E ....

Seems odd that they have everything integrated except HARM... Strike Eagle would be an ideal SEAD platform, to my mind.

EF-111 did not have flight controls for the EWO

GBU-15, AGM-130 with data link pod

Loved being a WSO/EWO in the AF.

I'm Only 10min in and Thank You!!! I'm going to Finish my Power Plant FAA Exams and finally my cert. Then Get my Wings!+! 🦅

No new normal. The political power broker shut down the country and made sure mail-in ballots were ‘everywhere’ and no more Orange Man.
I lived normally thru the Hong Kong flu in 68-69 and life went on ‘normally’. People-got sick, some died but Vietnam raged. Our society has become weak and protected.

Jane's F-15 brought me here...

I mean, why fly the 15 when you've flown the Tomcat?

Listening from 2 years in the future. Yes COVID does finally start to fade, but it’s gonna take a while so get comfortable!

It is amazing

This podcast is very addictive✈🛩🛫🛬🚁🪂🚀⚡🌈🌩

Maybe not in hollywood ... our ENEMY certainly knows of, respects and fears the F-15x

Cannot wait for this plane I'm DCS! We are so close!

I’m not a pilot, I do wonder if the planes flown wings folded, do you add flaps to provide the missing lift?

You should have various ground crew types on. Be a take that most have never heard.

Love the podcast. Had a big smile tonight. The call from St. Louis mo.
Long time listener first time caller!
Iam from Hillsboro mo. Lol B&T

Awsome as always, great interview, keep up the fantastic content.

What a story haha . A-A kill with a GBU10

Yeah.....Agreed!
This Covid plandemic IS certainly almost like nothing we've ever seen.....almost.
Another example of invisible boogeymen that trashed our constitutional rights due to 'fear' was the inside job of 911.

Great show BTW! Congrats

As an F-14 fan, hearing those so called experts say the "2 man crew" was a thing of the past.. apparently they were wrong. The F-14 was so far ahead of its time in fact that it would just now be coming into its own.
Funny the only time economy of scale is relevant to the military industrial complex is when they are selling huge trillion dollor boondoggles; their pitch always mentions huge cost savings over time and their reasoning: economy of scale. When they want to get rid of a successful program simply in need of upgrades "it's WAAAY too expensive" .

Just with your conversation about “passing the time” on a cross country at 12min, I remember a long flight back from NTC with a young captain and having that same kind of 80s rock moment. I managed to find an AM radio station with the ADF playing classic rock and it was a great 30-40 min of radio reception to break up a long flight

That Hind kill is straight out of Hollywood..❤️❤️❤️

If I had to choose between F14 TC or F15E I would go with the F15E. The cockpit is just awesome. Way better than F14 cockpit

I worked with the WSO who hit the Hind. He was a character for sure and I remember one launch where he lowered his seat all the way down and basically disappeared in the backseat. He was joking around acting like he disappeared.

DMS upgrades were in the late 90s but yes the cartridge is old and antiquated considering whats available today. For the times and what was used prior it was an amazing upgrade.

I live across the street from NAF El Centro. The Blues performed earlier in the month for people who were willing to watch from a distance, like me. Great food and drink and GREAT, GREAT FLYING!!!

Wait... Is that Spudnocker??

The most badass name for the Eagle is the Slam Eagle.

Captain Marvel wasn't entirely good press for the F-15. Didn't insult F-15s, but it wasn't a great movie.

Great stuff man , hearing these stories is just cool always had deep interest as becoming a fighter pilot just never made that happen alot of regrets but you live and learn. The podcasts are very uplifting hearing this from great Americans especially as this time in our country. Keep up the great work.

thank you for all that you do

We actually have 2 other strike eagles here at lakenheath as of recently with air to air drone kills (: acft 97-219, and 96-135

1:05:50 that jet is tail number 487 aka "Lucky", assigned to the world's greatest fighter squadron, and The World's Leading MiG Killers (218.5 to date): The 335th FS Chiefs. That jet also is the highest hour Strike Eagle with 13-14000ish hrs, and her left engine oil pressure tends to be lower than her right, but still well within limits.
Wampum!

Tac and Smack, I like it

My SU 34 FULLBACK is similar to F15 E STRIKE EAGLE

One thing they didn't know is that F-15E Strike Eagle scored its second air to air kill on 8 June 2017 when it shoot down an Iranian built UAV over Syria, close to Al-Tanf when it got close to a Coalition base there. https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/11314/f-15e-shot-down-predator-sized-drone-that-attacked-coalition-forces-in-syria
