F-15 High Speed Passes - Dayton Airshow 2023

Filming the Dayton Airshow this year was a little sketchy at times, but all's well that ends well. Here, two F-15Cs of the Louisana ANG "Bayou Militia" perform a number of flybys, including some great high speed passes.

The single-seaters are the most beautiful Eagles. They are becoming rarer and rarer as the years go by.

[@MattyLMurda]

I heard that they are retiring all f15s soon, I hope it's all rumors

[@andreabindolini7452]

@@MattyLMurda the F-15C. But the E and EX remains

[@Accu53Mation]

As a former Reserve Eagle Driver, darn best tactical aircraft in the world. Past, present, and future. Very capable of out-maneuvering the F22, MiG-57, and Su-30. Excellent for close-air-support. It'll remain in service till the B-52s, are officially retired. Just because it's an old airframe, does not mean it's obsolete.

still my favorite fighter.

Got to see the second F-15 in this video (83-0041) parked at the NAS Oceana air show; really wish it was in the sky though

[@dansffospottingandetc]

Agreed. Eagles may be pretty, but they're definitely prettier doing Mach 0.99 than they are on the ground

[@Lt.Li4m]

I was there!

[@f35kim51]

Awesome ❤

Come out to the Dayton Airshow in 2024 in Dayton Ohio!

[@dansffospottingandetc]

I plan on it! Should be one for the history books!

Sounds of freedom

[@mikefm4]

Man what a beautiful video Thanks for the no music and just letting the jets do all the talking

[@dansffospottingandetc]

Glad you enjoyed! That's the way it should be.

[@campcoldone4072]

The F-15 C's are the sexiest by far!!

[@dansffospottingandetc]

Agreed!

[@Hyposonic]

And to think they can go almost 1000mph faster than that!

[@ryanwilson299]

Bro they were Mach edging

[@440centerline]

Saw them in Cleveland- Impressive!!!

[@dansffospottingandetc]

Gotta love the Eagle!

Wow❤❤❤❤

The F-15 isn't put in airshows that often. Usually it's the F-16 or even F-22.

[@dansffospottingandetc]

It's definitely a rare sight, so a real treat to catch when it comes around!

[@anthonyfuqua6988]

@dansffospottingandetc I guess it's because of cost and numbers. The maintenance on an F-15 is expensive plus you have two seaters and one seaters. Also, because they were about half the price but not as good as an F-15 the Air Force ordered 4,400 F-16s built for us and our allies. But Japan and Saudi Arabia were the only customers. Now it's getting the glory it deserved a long time ago.

[@dansffospottingandetc]

@@anthonyfuqua6988 another part is the fact that ACC doesn't operate any active F-15C/Ds and all the E's are too mission essential. All the official demo teams are ACC, so the only F-15s that can fly at airshows are ANG. The reason they're showing up now is because they're so close to replacement, either by F-35s or F-15EXs depending on the unit. They're flying the heck out of these airframes to essentially make the most of them while they're still around. My hope is that F-15EXs that are assigned to Eglin and thereby ACC might get a demo team that way, but I'm doubtful.

[@anthonyfuqua6988]

@@dansffospottingandetc Yes. I believe they will end up buying more F-15EXs than F-35As.

[@dansffospottingandetc]

@@anthonyfuqua6988 I sure hope so, the ol' girl's got more life left in her yet!

[@spinynorman887]

Love it! Would have attended but they decided to jack up the gate prices and parking to a stupid level.

[@dansffospottingandetc]

Yeah, happens way more often than it should. I watched from the parking garage - also where this was recorded from. Flat fee of $22 for the whole day. Bring some drinks and snacks and you're set.

talk about lousy gas mileage 😄😄

[@anthonyfuqua6988]

Are you serious? Because that's one of the wrongest statements I've ever seen on here. 104 kills to 0 shootdowns. It's got the best record of any air superiority fighter in history..

[@stew-03]

Undefeated kill ratio but sure mate

[@anthonyfuqua6988]

You must be a fan of the Mexican Airforce. A couple paper airplanes.
