Ive recently become obsessed with strike fighters that can navigate through foggy canyons with technology other than eyeballs. Everyone is saying not to buy the f15e right now though.

and keep the F-15E in DCS please.

I am slowly combing through this episode, cross-referencing the stories with my electronic & paper copies of Smallwood's "Strike Eagle". Steve, thank you for your efforts! In a golden age of MilAv information, your content is head and shoulders above the rest.

@10percenttrue 2 года назад

Fantastic. Smallwood's book is superb. Would love to see what you end up with once you've cross referenced the whole conversation.

@9GLoco 2 года назад

You are my favorite MilAv podcast, and honestly my favorite in general.

@10percenttrue 2 года назад

Cheers, Alex!

@robo3915 2 года назад

This is the sort of conversation you’d only find at reunions I reckon. Great to be a virtual fly-on-the-wall for this historic recollection! 🍻

@10percenttrue 2 года назад

I recorded and intro in which I said exactly this (but I obviously didn't use it). I can't recall an interview where I said so little!

@Ian-Saxon 8 месяцев назад

Great conversation dynamic with the 4 Eagle drivers. Fascinating insight as usual. Cheers gents🫡. Kudos for getting this set up Steve: Another quality listen 👍

@sedlo 2 года назад

Wow, full of stories never heard before from the folks who were there. Love this conversation, thank you for sharing with us all, Steve.

Awesome stuff! This channel is criminally under views needs hundreds of thousands more views to preserve these stories

@AbuctingTacos 2 года назад

When I found this channel I was pissed. I'd been consuming this kind of content for a long time before you were recommended. I'm just commenting for the algorithm

@10percenttrue 2 года назад

Thanks, fellow nerd.

@danalopresto3139 Год назад

I was really happy to see that the F 15 crews from Seymour Johnson AFB were recognized. Good bunch of guys to support at SJ and Thumrait Oman. SJ AFB 1984-1990.

@rahbkefhannekk6437 2 года назад

Really interesting to hear these guys accounts of how things really were during the Gulf war. I was around at the time and the public perception of the campaign rarely matches the reality of those who were there. This podcast [just like your others] gives an true insight into events from the people who were there. An accurate, non 'spun' historical record for all. Keep up the good work.

@10percenttrue 2 года назад

Thanks for the comment and feedback!

@wolfgangschroedter3236 Год назад

The canadian base "close to France" was LAHR. I worked there for some time in the late 80`s . . Btw: Great episode & great channel.

@therocinante3443 Год назад

@10percenttrue 2 года назад

Thanks, Ramses. Pretty sure I am the best :P

@rsuminsby 2 года назад

Great to hear all you guys! Lots of good laughs....Yogi, I'm sure the citizens of the Azores love being referred to as "that island off Spain". :-) In all seriousness, this was a great reminder of just what you guys were up against in those early days. That you deployed with nothing SEEK EAGLEd except slick Mk 82s, and ended the war pounding targets with LGBs is a real testament to some forward thinking and learning on the fly. Well done, lads. And yes, I'm still pissed that I missed out.

@10percenttrue 2 года назад

When he mentioned “that island off Spain”, i thought he was talking about Tenerife. Glad i kept quiet!

@eicjc 2 года назад

“Bombing for quarters” 👌🏼 Another great episode Steve. Can’t help thinking they have loads more gold. Hope you get to mine some of it again!

Another very entertaining video Steve, thanks again. It would seem that when you get these particular gents together, your own prompting and questions are not really needed for the dialogue to flow. 🤣 much appreciated. Thanks to all involved.

@10percenttrue 2 года назад

Yes, Ian. Glad I knew from the outset that I was the least important person in the room!

@-theflea-4561 2 года назад

Great stories, especially the fog of war at the start. Sometimes you have to make it up as you go along. At least better than Vietnam where no one could make a move unless the pentagon said so. Keep it up Steve.

Hey Steve, With the Strike Eagle coming to DCS, you GOTTA get involved and make a campaign for it!

@10percenttrue Год назад

Would love to, Chris. But all the mission builders are busy on other projects :( I already have an actual campaign written and planned, so if you know someone who can do the mission building, let me know.

@stevewilson7819 Год назад

Awesome interview! Sad but unsurprising commentary on the poor leadership present in the squadron when the war kicked off. In spite of a few weak leaders these officers snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. Great job on their part.

@0MoTheG 2 года назад

I can't understand why one would put bombs on a F-15. Seems like driving a 10000 rpm race car to work every morning.

@10percenttrue 2 года назад

The Eagle driver answer is that you shouldn't put b-o-m-b-s on an F-15!

@stevewilson7819 Год назад

The USAF had air superiority covered with their F15C’s. But with the new technology coming on-line it made sense to develop the F15 into a strike fighter. I’m sure there were officers in the Pentagon that were already planning the end for the F111’s. And the F15E was probably intended to be the heir apparent to the F111’s throne.
