USAF F-15 mass launch and recovery - RAF Lakenheath, England [4K] 

Id happily stand there all day watching these take off & land, it just never gets old.

Pleased to have our American friends in the UK. The US has a massive military machine thank goodness.

Excellent coverage. Tried, Tested, and Trusted. The Mc Donnell Douglas F15 'Eagle', Strike Eagle' , 'Eagle FX'. Loved and respected; Feared and hated. Incomparible within it's own periphery. These on film are but a tiny quantity of them, yet the force they offer is enormous. The U.S 'Birds of Prey'. Always welcome at our British (R.A.F) Air-bases.

My in-laws live between Mildenhall and Lakenheath (Brandon) and I was watching these pass by pretty much all day today. Beautiful sight and sound.

F-15E Strike Eagle, easiest "giveaway" is the 2 seats and the extended fuel tanks along the engines, primarily an air to ground med bomber, she still performs the Air superiority roll superbly

Just an aircraft appreciator here - no jingoistic remarks from me. Thanks for sharing the footage.

Hi guys , i worked @ Lakenheath for about 5 years to 2005/6 contracted to MOD ,saw various events come and go Great respect to all there . I wrote this one lunch time sitting in my works vehicle down on the access road to the flight line Distant rumble, sudden roar, All things shaking, then upward soar, A hole punched through clouded ceiling, Twin swirls from wing tips reeling , It's grey shape moving so fast, It's in the present but belongs in the past, The image is surely one of awe, But reality is of a possible war, It's beauty, it's sound, it's just off the ground, It's scary, it's great, it's a vision some never hate.

Eagle still rules the sky. Russia really doesn't want to tangle with this aircraft, or anything that the Brits or Americans have to throw at them.

I was a kid and Dad was stationed there 1973 -1978 it was F4's then it was to go to end of filet line and watch. Would love to go back and check it out now

US airforce is so impressive, Long live NATO and all thoughts to Ukraine!

I proudly served in the first Operational Wing of F-15s at Langley AFB in 1976. Great memories of a great airplane to this day !!!

.... and yet it still flies and is well maintained. Handy weapons truck. It does what it's supposed to do.

Great video, these aircraft will be put to the test soon

Beautiful video! I drive by 1-3 times a week. I keep telling myself to STOP and watch for a bit, but I'm always scared I'll show up when they aren't flying for like an hour or something.

I was in the USAF from August 1980 to 1985. My first base was at RAF Lakenheath. I had the job of refueling the F111 at that time. We did what was called a hot refuel. The plane would taxi to its pad and when it stopped …motors still running….I would drive up to one side of the plane and start refueling, on the other side of the plane it was being loaded with bombs. Very exciting and dangerous moments.

Remarkable footage on these group of F-15E Strike Eagles mass launch and recovery 🤩😎

Wicked video, love the coms chat really makes the video

Great to hear coms on video

I was watching here in late 80s, F111 brilliant

Great video

fantastic footage & atc

Beautiful machine. Looks like freedom.

My old base 1980 - 1984. Sortie surge!

Going deep into speculation but I wonder if this could have anything to do with replacing the air power in Poland if those Migs are sent to Ukraine. Any chance this could be mig pilots being trained and checked out on the F-15? I ask because this looks like one of my earlier lessons while getting my PPL. Take off, fly a circuit, get called off by tower and make a go around, then it was usually a touch and go and then a full stop landing. I think we did an hour or two of that before my solo. My knees were shaking 6 inches aside sitting on the tarmac but once moving all went smooth :). Close to 40 years since I've flown a C-150 but I still do it in my head quite frequently and am sure I could still fly one safely in VFR conditions.

at 1. 35 good lads and lasses !

I've been noticing a lot of combat aircraft videos being uploaded to RU-vid within the past several weeks, war is ugly but warjets are still beautiful.

Those Eagles can beat anything Russia wants to send up. Just let their spouses know to have the life insurance policies handy. 🦅

Hey Guys I was stations at Lakenheath back in 67 before deploying to Vietnam There was DOD high school there with dorm students. It was regular practice to conduct scrambles at night - some of the high school students painted the dorm lights RED, Air Police were called and got all students out to clean up at 0200. That was worst threat we had. Don't know if school is still there but watch out for red lights in the wrong places :-)

Stationed in UK. 2 YEARS . LET US USE THEM! Screw the training, let's do it in Ukraine. Control the skies, save old people, babies, the innocent. I want my tax dollars used for good and not to build more prisons here!

Putin better be extra careful nowadays...

Awesome.

How do you like that RR?

One question… why don’t the air force use a catapult launch system like on a carrier? Or would the fuel savings be too small? Maybe I just answered my own question.

If you aren’t behind it somewhere, you cannot feel that raw power(any modern F/A)

Puttin wouldn’t want to be facing these magnificent warbirds.

I can hear military aircraft all day , every day in the UK at the moment , maybe it's these I can hear .

Ahhhh the sound of freedom :)

Damn, they are all loaded with missiles and huge gas tanks! this is not just a practice take off.

Greta said take it easy on those after burner takeoffs 👍

Ukraine war is the life and death for Russia.

Are wingtip vortices ever an issue with fighters and if so what's the general spacing or time interval between take offs? If not how quickly could they all take off? I could almost picture the start of an auto race

question what radio are you using?

A practice deployment?

The Eagle keeps a close watch of the bear on the ground! Bear aware of the Eagle in the sky!

F-15 = BADASS!

"little star is ". exit it before landing.

ready exercise. full force code ....one.

Formidable?

turn, go

Most people in Norfolk are pretty sick of these planes training over us every single weekday for hours on end. It's tough on our kids in school having so much noise when they are trying to study. Just wish they would train off the coast more. And I don't want to hear any nonsense about them defending our freedom. All we are asking a little more respect for the people of East Anglia when it comes to noise pollution.

loaded up heavy weight

Kick the tires lite the fires

Told u we are coming what's his name oh yeah putin

رئيس المانيا وكندا تلوح بحرب العالمية والبقاء للقوه وغارات جويه غارات الحرب

When I was on Active Duty some called these types of missions as "Punching More Holes in the Sky". When does it become worth it to Confront Putin and Russia?

Ninety-nine Decision Street Ninety-nine ministers meet To worry, worry, super scurry Call the troops out in a hurry This is what we've waited for This is it, boys, this is war The president is on the line As ninety-nine red balloons go by Ninety-nine knights of the air Ride super high-tech jet fighters Everyone's a Super Hero Everyone's a Captain Kirk With orders to identify To clarify and classify Scramble in the summer sky Ninety-nine red balloons go by

come in heavy, start shourt, comr in heavy.

CARRYING GIFTS FOR PUTIN

Ready for Putler

It'a likw now they realized russia has power. lol.

Practicing for something?....live in North Wales near the Mach loop...always joke.."the yanks are here!

Fkna

chatter.

They are nice jets, but in a war, all of those nice runways will be pounded into rubble. Better to have the VTOL F-35 instead, using JATO-rocket assist takeoff for full weapon loads on takeoff. Oh wait, they are still working on that system, it's not available just yet.

Ho bloody hum. zzz zzz zzz

I don't believe these f-15 are being flown by UK pilots into Ukraine.

Glory to Ukraine🇺🇦🇺🇸‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

WHY is Great Britain being protected by old ass F15' and F 16's ? 4th generation 20th century obsolete planes .. where are the F18's ? F 35's , ? during this hotly contested moment in history , where are the F 22's ? where's the B 1 ? the F 117 ? looks like you guys are getting the crap end of the stick here ... I would start complaining ,

God Bless President Putin and The Russian Federation 🇷🇺 ~

The new Quad: Israel, India, China, Russia and North Korea.

Crazy that "No taxation without representation" turned into this. Close enough to three hundred years ago we fought the crown, for independence. NOW the Queens folk are hosing our superior military. LOVE IT!!!

My cousin from here in NY flew B17's out of the UK over Germany during WW2

Still a formattable weapon platform. Cold War II.
