Still the most sexiest jet fighter ever made. And the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle itself is a prime example in proving that its designs are superior to the MiG’s and Su’s as their proportions are just off. The F-15 is the closest thing to perfection. Scratch that, it is perfection. So damn perfect.

We knew something was up because the jet kicked its afterburner on which up to this point they had not used the burners to takeoff! It was such an amazing sight that they actually did a story in Airman magazine but the only thing that was more impressive about the F-15 was watching its landing no wonder they called it the “EAGLE” the fighter looks so graceful when it lands!

On October 13 1997 I took my 2 Sons to Edwards AFB to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Chuck Yeager breaking the sound barrier (occurring the following day). We were able to park the motorhome in front of the visitor center, giving us an unobstructed view of the exhibitor planes and low passes planned for the day. On the morning of the 14th at 6:30am (the exact time when Yeager broke the sound barrier) we were on top of the motorhome sipping hot chocolate. Yeager was in the front seat and Bob Hoover (who flew the chase plane during the sound barrier attempt) was in the back seat of an F15E for the commemoration flight. My youngest Son was very susceptible to loud noises and wanted to be able to cover his ears when the boom hit. The announcer said they would be doing a precise count-down. At the appointed time, the count-down was initiated ... 10-9-8-7- BOOM. I cursed those two buttheads for several minutes. Because they were at 10,000 feet going 760mph it's unlikely they heard me and the day progressed without further incident.

What’s so interesting about this video, is that although the after burners are lit, the climb rate is so much faster than demonstrated in this clip, due to over pressures from breaking the sound barrier at sea level. In 1973 , an f15 strike eagle hit 15k meters (50 thousand feet) in 77 seconds, 10 seconds faster than an Apollo 5 rocket. Side note, not a single F15 has EVER been shot down in combat, regardless of the country that flies it.

To add to everyone else's comments about how it looks without the underwing attachments, I want to say it also looks... RAZOR SHARP, like this!

After living on an Air Force base that had 15's on alert, I wish you all that haven't experienced this knew actually how LOUD that is. We lived about half a mile from the end of an active runway where they'd blast to an unrestricted climb like that. Pictures falling off of the walls in the house, car alarms going off everywhere.....Good grief. They'd even do it in the middle of the night (rarely bit it happened).

Nice plane but his time is passing. The F-15 shines like a sun on enemy radars.

This looks like a functional check flight after major MX. It's cool to see how much additional acceleration the bird gets once going into burner.

This is real power. Not like when an F-16 or Hornet flies to the end of the runway and then zooms up into the vertical before running out of energy.

A Viper in a slick configuration like this will have a thrust to weight ratio greater than 1. Won't run out of energy.

In the 1980's while at Scott AFB, Ill the plant that built them was near by in St. Louis. The new jets would come over for check out touch & goes. I WATCHED ONE NEAR STALL PULL UP, RETRACK THE GEAR, THEN FULL POWER CLIMB!!! Both F-15 & F-16 use the same engine, the 15 has two of them!!!

But also twice as heavy. It’s the wing that makes the difference. The F-15 has more than it needs, the F-16 has JUST enough.
