Thank you for the video. My son is currently stationed at Seymour Johnson AFB in North Carolina, and he is an avionics maintainer for the F-15E. He's nearing completion of his second month of AF service (10th overall) at a permanent assignment. I hope that someday I'll see him in one of the many videos that are done at SJ.

Man I miss the Air Force. That's so cool. The team work from base ops to the ATC's to the crew chiefs to the airmen on the flight line to the zoomies flyin. It is so awesome. No racism or hate when lives are on the line and your job is to ensure the safety of others so they can do their job to achieve mission success. No one is expendable. Go Air Force.

Was stationed at Lakenheath... miss hearing this stuff every day.

Thank goodness for FSX Steam, love flying the F-15E's from the 336th FS on there. My physical disability prevented me from going active Air Force, though a good friend of mine once flew these beasts!

Greetings from 🇬🇧. I live very close to the home of the 48th FW where 3 squadrons of f15s are based. Great to see this majestic bird up close.

@simonvance8054 4 года назад

Used to visit Lakenheath every few months on sortie day, great times!

@davidtcpa1 7 лет назад

Awesome video!! I worked on that ramp in the Rockets from 1988 until I retired in 2000, and have missed it every day since.

@BobRadu 7 лет назад

Just read the book about them in Desert Storm. Awesome stuff. As always, thanks for your service.

@davidtcpa1 7 лет назад

Bob Radu Thank you!

@davidtcpa1 7 лет назад

Marco Maspero I think you're asking what my job was. I started as a communications, navigation, & TEWS systems specialist. By the end of my career, I was an avionics craftsman.

DecepticonShaun _J you can still do it

@FahadAJT 3 года назад

What are the requirements in US? In my country it's extremely strict and difficult to become one. You basically have one chance... and not just that, but you have to be a high school fresh graduate. You miss that chance? forget it boy you'll never ever become one. That sucks

@dirtydave2691 4 года назад

We had F 15E's bomb some pre planned targets for us in Ramadi. Devastating. I am huge fan of them. When they would take off from Bagram in Afghanistan the whole valley roared.

Great job even going over everything ...nice job on this video too...

Yee gads man, don’t step on the seat when ya get in!!

@rayanaltowayan9558 6 лет назад

Sorry correct me if I am wrong. But do the names under the canopy mean that those pilots will fly that particular aircraft for the rest of their career?

@VaporheadATC 6 лет назад

No, not necessarily. Once those pilots move on, the names can be removed.

@snipinmonsta 6 лет назад

Pilots sometimes don’t fly their own jet even if it is available it is all up in the air depending on priority flights realizability factor and back up jets

That one dude who was putting tools in his pocket imma find him and give him an article 15 and a QA fail smh

@hoxlund14 4 года назад

OMG I saw that and cringed HARD!!! 15E weapons loader here. I know he took them to close pilot pods but damn dude, be discrete about it

@supotekhauya7723 4 года назад

I just wonder where is the baggage compartment on the jet? since the pilot carry a big one at the beginning.

@sgtrock2821 2 года назад

yeah and where is the handle to roll down the window when you need to throw a cigarette out?

@Rickfri59 4 года назад

At 07:18 - 07:22 were there red flags/streamers hanging from the underside of the aircraft? Thought these were supposed to be removed before flight,

@collinflematti1374 4 года назад

I’m pretty sure once they taxi away, the weapons guys takes them out when they’re doing their EOR (end of runway) inspection, just before takeoff

@TLN-qu4rq 7 лет назад

Anyone know what those smaller tank looking things are? [4:42] Probably fuel right?

@NerfTango1 7 лет назад

The smaller "tanks" under the external fuel tanks, are cargo pods for carrying the pilots personal cargo. Its usually clothing and items needed if they are flying to another base or country for more than a day. The smaller "tank" right under the 20mm gun is a targeting pod used for targeting ground targets when dropping bombs or launching AGMs

@get2dachoppa249 7 лет назад

MXU-648 baggage pods, made from napalm canisters. Sometimes they have a custom paint scheme, depending on the unit.

@TLN-qu4rq 7 лет назад

Tanks, I mean Thanks. I probably could have figured it out since at least two other aircraft I know of carry cargo pods (A-10, and F-5). Which besides ECM pods, are virtually the only thing they could be. Thanks for the responses though. Do the pilots themselves load them, or do they simply hand over what needs taken with and the crew does it?

@davidtcpa1 7 лет назад

We called them travel pods. When the aircraft go cross country we loaded the crew luggage, aircraft chocks, and the safety pins/covers in them.

391st Bold Tigers 👍

@fabianmendez3587 Год назад

Where? That was all Seymour Johnson AFB, NC... The Bold Tigers are out of Mtn. Home AFB, ID.

@stephenp1717 Год назад

I had to watch the video again. I forgot why I even wrote that. Must have been because I was at Mtn. Bone in the 391st. I guess that was it. Just was giving a thumbs up to the 391st. Now I realize why I don’t remember. That was 3 years ago.
