Now, to see SIX(6) of them flying abreast like that gives me CHILLS and it's one of the most BEAUTIFUL scenes the eye can behold!!! Also, those peel offs for final approach were too SWEET!!! WELCOME HOME GENTLEMEN AND YOU GUYS ARE SOMETHING "SERIOUS"!!!😀👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾👌🏾👍🏾💪🏾❤💯
From T6 Texan II's , T-38 Talons, to F-15's + your respective NASP graduate CSO's (my son is one), wow have you all have progressed!!! Congratulations to one and all! FLY AIR FORCE!! God Bless America!
Did 2 tours at the "Heath" but want to share a story with you all. I was stationed at George AFB in California from 84-86 & we flew F-4G Wild Weasels. They did a deployment to Jever AB, Germany & did the same formation only to have 2 of the jets collide then go down. The aircrews survived, but the Wing Commander got sacked. When I saw this formation that incident in Germany in '84 immediately came to mind.
Formation!! Hah! Beautiful way to approach in to a safe flight and landing to see and to getting ready to reunite with your family members and friends that love you all
In 1963 as a trainee hotel assistant manager at the Golden Lion Hotel in Hunstanton, Norfolk I met my first Americans, both fighter pilots out of Lakenheath AFB. The would leave the hotel in the morning, drive to the base, fly all over Europe, North Africa etc and return around 5 pm, just another working day. One I recall was Gerald Knapp. My name at the time was Jim Wright. Gerry and his lovely wife rented an apartment across the Green and had me over for dinner one night.
What a gorgeous, menacing looking bird the F-15E is! Love the sound of those nozzles flexing just before touchdown as they ride the throttles. Great video of a great flock of Eagles!
@@insanelewis21 Thanks, but my point is they could've spaced the formation out 10 km's away from the base, and descend smoothly like a passenger plane, yet they 'go around' above the runway as a routine. What's the point? For training purposes?
@@cwilliam2133 The formation flying is about staying within visual, attempting to "cloak" a flight of a/c as a single ship, saves fuel. But in this case they wanted to arrive "home" as a group, for photo ops, family etc. These guys/gals are returning home after war.
Never thought you could make it anyway good luck LOL all you guys are awesome thank you so much. Father's Day is coming soon you better give respect your daddy sons daughters and keep them all safe. Thank you all so much for your exponentially badass effort to do this work it's a hard job and you have to let something go and you have to let it all fly. Don't be dumbasses. Take a clue from me
