RIP Snizzler, I miss you man. Snizzler was my mentor while serving at Kadena AB. Years later he helped me with a little letter, a recommendation letter to attend OCS. I was accepted and thrived while serving. Snizzler was the reason I became a pilot myself and the reason I will continue to fly for as long as possible. Thanks for everything Snizzler, you will be missed.

I was an F15 Avionics guy way back in 1990-1992. Kadena was the best unit I ever served in! Everything there reminded me of my desire to join the USAF as a kid. This video is a blessing to everyone who ever served there! It is super well done, great video resolution, excellent theme, strong audio, entirely well done! Thank you to the all the great people who contributed and gave this great memory, to all of us who served there! My hat is off to all of you. Thank you so much for making this video!

Thanks, everyone, for the likes. This is the REAL original Raytheon Trophy video for 2013. Please pass this link to your friends and families, as this is the complete video in its unadulterated form. The others at Vimeo and Hulu cut out the tribute to Robbie Risner, amongst other things. They did not ask me for permission to use my video, either.

@@fishnchips5826 Not so it’s just banter. But the reality is the F-15 is a better plane in all aspects except cost. It’s combat record and abilities speak for itself. Not to say the F-16 is a bad plane but to say the F-16 is so much better than F-15 is a huge misnomer. You know you built something good the first time when the USAF wants more F-15s and buys more in the face of the newer but really flawed F-35, 50 years after it first flew.

Such a great airframe and performance machine the Airforce is proceding to build the F15-EX version. Faster than a F-35, F-16, F22, and although with a larger radar cross section this plane is an air superior fighter and ground attack fighter. It can do anything and was never shot down in an air-to-air combat engagement. Perfection for 50 years. The F-15 rules the skies and always has ruled the skies. Ask the Israelis.

What's the purpose of taxiing the plane through a water spray? What are they washing off?
@ultimateswarm78688 жыл бұрын
It's to wash off the salt water. They were flying over the ocean and the salt water in the air speeds up the corrosion process. These are F-15Cs and are the oldest F-15 model in service. Normally jets are designed with flight time and age limits. For example, "6000 flight hours or 25 years of age which ever comes first." But the military has been trying to extend the life of its fighter aircraft way beyond their original design specification. My guess is that the water spray is part of the life extension plan.
