The McDonnel-Douglas F-4 Phantom II was indeed a HEAVYWEIGHT fighter with a gross weight of 55,957.0 lbs acccording to its manufacturers.

the back ground music???

Speed brakes are nothing new.

@stephencannon3140 Год назад

F/A-18 pilots at trained to land with the horizontal stabilizer and speed brake providing a majority of the aerodynamic braking. The horizontal stabilizer is already trimmed for nose up when landing so it provides a ..(“Barn door” effect and will slowly trim back to neutral when slowed down enough for the wheel brakes to take over….helps reduce wear and tear on the brake. I would probably think that the F-15 probably does the same.

@thomaslavin3640 Год назад

Yes that is exactly right ▶️👍 F 15 Speed Brake does same thing slows down aircraft on landing saves brakes and tires Too 👍😎

very silly background music very annoying

American air power is awesome

@jonbutcher9805 Год назад

I was under the impression the FA 18 replaced the F14 Tomcat not the phantom and Corsair. Please correct if I'm wrong.

@kdrapertrucker Год назад

No, the F/A-18 replaced the phantom and the Corsair II in the mid 1980s. The Super hornet (completely different aircraft) took the Tomcat's place, nothing has replaced the Tomcat as nothing has the Tomcat's capabilities.

@jonbutcher9805 Год назад

@@kdrapertrucker awesome, thanks.

@dirkaminimo4836 Год назад

I wonder what the Russians have in place for these safety devices. Oh yeah, super long runways and 1000s of disposable pilots. Equipment first, people second.

@simonkovacic2585 2 месяца назад

Does anyone know if the newer F/A-18E/F still has the large airbrake? I've never seen it deployed

@bigbob1699 Год назад

Look at all the teenagers on the flight deck.

@braised44 Год назад

Must delete the music!

A-7 wasn’t a fighter. It main role was Attack, but with training and skill it could use the AIM-9 Sidewinder as a defensive weapon. F-4 was primarily fighter and fleet defense interceptor. F/A-18 replaced both A-7 and F-4. The A-7 air brake is underneath so not very useful on landing. That is more of a “Dive Brake” used in air-ground attacks

@kdrapertrucker Год назад

I think they are confusing the A-7 with the F-8. Understandable considering the A-7 was based on the F-8.
