F-15C Eagles of the 144th Fighter Wing at Fresno

[@ericb592]

Redhawk from Oregon making an appearance at Fresno too! Great vid!

[@mykenry]

Yes sir! First launch of the day!

[@alexanderboreham7598]

Really awesome video! Love seeing the variable geometry inlets on those engines at the beginning. So cool to watch! Almost looks like magic!

[@briancrawford69]

Lifelong Fresnan. Have loved watching the F4, F16 and now F15 over Fresno growing up

[@MaraficeEye]

I hear/see these guys take off at 9:30am (give or take a few minutes) when I'm at the office, love it! Couple years ago I could set my watch to them. Hear the roar, look at watch, yep, 9:30!

[@Epicaviation47]

Awesome video

[@atthefence111]

Awesome video Mike!! I can smell this vid lol. What a cool experience dude!! That Flag Eagle is the most beautiful jet ever.

[@mykenry]

Thanks Casey! I love that flag jet!

[@Tonezhomz]

A lot of maintenance needed to keep this bird in the sky.

[@benvotta7534]

Dude this is awesome!!

[@mykenry]

Thanks so much!

[@philsfopictures9168]

COME ON FEEL THE NOISE !

[@jaek_898]

Incredible footage, really good stuff! What camera do you use?

[@mykenry]

Thanks so much! This was all shot on the Nikon Z9. It does stills and video extremely well

[@pigybak]

Best under belly livery!

[@dustydoreeto2.012]

Fr, just watched them do a flyover the highway I live near

[@559_spots]

Bro i want base access so i can see these jets 😭

[@F22raptor46]

At 7:41 you can see that F-15 has an Air to air kill on an Su-22! Possibly in Syria EDIT: It's also interesting to see F-15s from Kadena and Oregon here too! I'm guessing they're there for an exercise

[@mykenry]

The Kadena bird is a transfer that hasn’t been painted and the Oregon bird was visiting. The SU-22 was from Desert Storm! These Eagles have some miles on them!

[@F22raptor46]

@@mykenry Oh interesting! Why did the Kadena bird transfer to this unit?

[@mykenry]

@@F22raptor46 Kadena is retiring their Eagles and will backfill with visiting squadrons that rotate other airframes with fewer hours. They started pulling them in November

[@F22raptor46]

@@mykenry Ah Yes I remember, didn't know their plane would be coming to Fresno tho. Wonder where else the rest will go

[@greenfire6924]

Thanks for the exclusive Mike! According to KZbin I was your first LIKE 43 seconds after you dropped. Don't know how reliable or why that happened. Any intel on what the boys and girls flew that day? Sidewinder LL or something out over the Pacific Ocean?

[@stephenhampton7444]

They also have aim-120s on them too.

[@mykenry]

Some BFM, some hit the sidewinder and two went to March for the airshow, including the flag jet!

[@mykenry]

@@stephenhampton7444 just practice rounds but yeah, CATM-120s

[@greenfire6924]

@@stephenhampton7444 My understanding is... since 911 most, if not all, US fighter drivers (AF and NAV/Marine) go airborne with minimal kinetic weapons mounted and at the ready. Please correct me if I'm wrong about this. Of course, there would be isolated exceptions but that is not what I want to read about.

[@alexanderboreham7598]

I caught two of them on the low level, pretty sure it was the same day based on what Mike said.
