F-15E in the Balkans, Part 3 [FULL] 

Every Campbell in fighters has “soup” as a call sign. So, maybe. New guy, 492nd FS? Never flew with him though.

Thanks again to you and Starbaby for this fantastic series! Absolutely the highlight of my week. Honestly, I think it would be fascinating to hear you talk to some B-1B guys some day. Such an interesting and under appreciated airframe.

Great video again. And for self reference again: Jamming Radio 35:12 B-1B Lancer strike package 56:30

Fantastic as always!

I really enjoyed this, perfect stuff to listen to as background stories, thanks guys ✌🏽

Memories of Jane’s F15E flight sim. Some great missions flying in Gulf War 1 with RAF Jaguars and the like. The back seater would say things like “ We blew that up bigger than Dallas! “ He would occasionally vomit during intense maneuvers. Too much fun.

Fantastic, compelling and interesting delivery Starbaby. You weren't bad at asking questions too Steve.

Steve and STARBABY thanks phor a great video!

Another great show!

It may be coming up next, but are you going to talk about the Grdelica train? That seems very pertinent to cover in this series.

Could we get a video with Starbaby discussing CRM (crew coordination) in the Strike Eagle in honour of the DCS module release? I can't wait to take the WSO seat and hope to know best how to work with the pilot and divide duties.

We want more!!!

"The guys writing it aren't the guys doing the mission" is the universal rule of management whether it's the USAF, Army, or a civilian job. Good leaders understand their separation from the nitty gritty and let people work like SB said. Bad ones micro manage from a distance.

More wonderful content. Thank you both.

Regards from Serbia... Starting to watch this .. comments will follow... ;)

Keep him telling stories. Starbaby is fantastic. Thanks for creating this content. I offer guidance if Starbaby wants to try Spanish food too!!

The low and slow "outlaw"...I was just an SrA, but TDY at the Vicenza CAOC. This kinda thing happened! (Low and slow got away with things)

Actually, many MIG-29 decoys were hit on the ground.

494th bleed red baby. Loved my time in that squadron 96-99

Listening to this while waiting for the dcs F-15E to be released 😂

What exactly is a "combat" check ride? I'm familiar with regular check rides but this sounds like an odd concept to me.

Gettin a pizza and will watch the show :)

I regret that I only have one like to give. Looking forward to hearing the upgrade certification ride 👍

Was this before GPS guided bombs became a thing? Just occured to me that you had laser/cloud issues, which would have been solved by GPS guidance... or no?

What’s the deal with the Doge in the hud? It’s funny, but I’m curious to the reference. If there’s a joke, or just blocking out another persons face…🤷🏻‍♂️ if’s it’s referred to in a previous episode, I missed it.

Hypothetically, could you desuit in an SE?

Another good episode. Who dresses Starbaby? What’s with the collar airman?

Impressed with range of expertise Starbaby shares backed with a full understanding what was and still going on in the Balkan region. You have to consult history before trying to understand why events in 99 developed in OAF and then might be stunned that same Serbian regime from 20 years ago was resurrected in it's own nature, being stronger to majority of Serbian neighbors like Bosnia, Monte Negro or even Albania. Regarding Serbian MIGs and their pilots - he's right, they were not only outnumbered, but also lacked functional aircrafts, proper training and above all, no idea what to actually do when airborne. SAM threat was more credible, no only because they were a bit smarter than Iraqis, but because terrain profile makes then hard to track when they go off . Serbs also had spotters in Italy as a lot of them work around Trieste and Udine, alongside Slovenia. I'm not sure if Starbaby reads this but I'm wondering if he can perhaps share the role of F-15E into attack on Udbina AF in 1994, then a part of Serbian occupied area in Croatia.

08:55 how the fuck would you know that?!

Such a great storyteller! Is it true Starbaby spent his B-Course weekends at George making chainmail and playing Alpha Omega?

This pilot is a clown, as if he knows anything more than to drop the bomb where he's told and back to to cycling. Ask your superiors why they were shocked when the Serbian army left Kosovo, how come almost all the equipment was preserved? Well, because you were destroying decoys like idiots. If the decoys were unsuccessful, why did the factories that produced them kill themselves from work, they didn't stop production one day. it's hard for them to admit that we fooled them.
