[@starvalkyrie]

F-15 pilot is never gonna hear the end of it for ejecting when he still had one perfectly good wing.

[@firebald2915]

Existence and Still in use -F16 In a Museum - STOL-f15

Yep, we all know they fly perfectly well with one. I call shenanigans

[@wolfpreist]

The Silhouette of the F-15 STOL/MTD looks like 3 planes in a trench coat.

[@EpsilonZolton]

actually the exact plane USAF S/N 71-0290 that was used for the STOL/MTD program was also used for the ACTIVE and IFCS programs so it is 3 prorotypes in a trenchcoat thats also the reason that most people confuse the STOL/MTD and ACTIVE programs cause its actually the same plane

[@zunezacove9665]

lmao i love this anology

F-15 stol/mtd VS Su-35SM in a dog fight!

With GS flying the F15

[@piotrlitwic5935]

I second that!

[@milowannebo-sorensen1776]

Stol* and yeah that sounds cool good idea

[@ile2038]

He did this style of fight before, I don't remember if it was the su-35sm but he did fight a trhust vectoring flanker, the vid was probably about 1-2 years ago

[@realitysux_0128]

I think this would be interesting🤔

[@kaydenchan7093]

“he might actually hit the ground here it looks like” famous last words

[@ArghIsThisHandleTaken]

I'm a retired F-15 C/D/E crew chief and I want to know where the hell they put the actuators for the canards

[@mattman2216]

Im pretty sure what they did was remove the gun in order to make room for the actuators, so the only way for it to have guns is for it to have a gunpod on the center pylon

[@sevenshooter2987]

5:50 he explains it, f15 engines guy here and I was thinking the same thing 😂

[@darrellstephen3085]

Who needs radar.

[@TheShoguneagle]

The gun and the in-flight refueling receptacle and associated plumbing was removed.

[@unknownuser069]

I have about 50 hours in NASA 837 at Dryden. (Now Armstrong) I know, I know ... I just drive your jet. The internal configuration was altered more significantly than comments suggest. Some volume was "found" by removing the gun, but it all had to be reshuffled internally. The main reason the gun came off, IIRC, is that its trajectory would have ben THROUGH the canard. The canards are actually attached at the Wing sponson fairing/LEX. There is a fairing for the actuator on top of the intakes on both sides, about even with the AC exhaust. Electric and oxy had to be rerouted, I think the internal tank configuration was changed, There was some repositionining of the in-flight fueling receptacle, but it remained problematic to execute in flight refueling ... I can't remember what else. When the crew briefed me ... I was overwhelmed quite frankly. There are so so many alterations to test articles from their operational variants, you basically have to throw out the operational book and start over. Not only do we have a ton of instrumentation, we often have new equipment on board, like space based ranging gear, and aerodynamic thrust test gear. The plane would change configuration, internal and external, one flight to the next. Always a little too exciting.

[@Sir_Jeb]

F-18 harv vs f-15 stol/mtd would be a very interesting prototype vs prototype match up.

[@mfavingerfv2202]

Also the F-16 XL too, wish it was modelled. Like a mirage and a f16 had a kid

[@brionjohnson2985]

VISTA

[@downwindfish1]

NF-16 VISTA would also be interesting

[@RyzawaVT]

MiG-29OVT or Su-37 would also be interesting.

[@akimbo.1887]

First round F15 didn't realize you were already dead, second round he didn't realize you were still alive 😅

[@path7786]

I may be high. But I find the rain streaming over the canopy (right after 1:20) is just the finest if details. So mesmerizing!!!

[@Salty_Balls]

It made me worry I was high

[@Chester690TT]

I was asking myself what that is. looks like when hot air waves.. okay.. so rain, no strange low density air or something..

[@M1nttzz]

Yes! Please fly this f-15!!! It’d be so cool!

[@manpiggaming6403]

Yes

She ain't a lady if she ain't 280.

[@CivisMilitarum]

The STOL looks really good with those paint schemes! And YES we want to see you fly it next time 😂 What kind of question is that man?! Lol

[@Triple87]

Fun fact: The canards on the F-15 were actually stabs from a Hornet. 😂

[@benn454]

Makes sense. McDonnell Douglas built both. Use what you've got on the shelf.

[@AllieStrange]

This is my favorite F-15 for sure, slapping canards and 3D thrust vectoring on it is just so cool,

[@skunks7831]

- He might actually hit the ground here. * System: Player GrowlingSidewinder has renamed to Ground. *

[@The_Angry_BeEconomist]

yes switching planes is a good way to see if its the plane or the player that is winning the fights

[@Mav09]

F/A-18E/F vs F-35C (Fox-2 fight) would be epic to see! Navy vs Navy : Old vs New Day 74

[@busterdee8228]

Good match. The visibility out of the F-16 is so incredible.

[@IRLFlightSim]

F15 vs F18 Harv would be a sick matchup

[@lordllewellynofdarkdelight2613]

The canards of the F-15 FTD came from the horizontal stabilizers of the F-18.

[@savitajadhav1314]

😮 you gotta be kidding me f 15 is that big?

I thought the canopy was getting a weird glitch but I realised it was just the rain!

F-15 STOL/MTD vs the F-22

[@kaydenchan7093]

He already did that

[@maestro-zq8gu]

You may have won, but that experimental F-15 was a really cool concept.

[@xraw110x]

GS, if you're going to ask the question, "should we do a video with me in the...?" The answer is ALWAYS yes.

[@jeffhutchins7048]

Don't walk up to take pictures with the bear until you're SURE he's dead!!!

[@kevinleffingwell5603]

Absolutely do a video of you in the F-15 STOL/MTD. I've never heard of this variant before. Give us a little more history on it too. Pit it up against a 5-gen Russian fighter.

[@williamw6046]

I know the F-15 vtol/mtd is just a test plane, but having the Air Force actually have a few would be interesting

[@benn454]

It was pretty much the testbed for the Raptor.

[@ribsi85]

"should we do a video in the STOL f15?" yes please

[@Kermit670]

That first pilot snipe was cinematic

[@Rose_Butterfly98]

GS: He actually might hit the ground here it looks like F-15: nah I'd hit you

[@DarvinWilliams-ge7uk]

Yes! You should definitely do a video in the F15

[@typhvam5107]

Absolutely love how planes with canards look like and move

[@Acetheskyhook]

That was awesome! Learned a lot about modern air combat from watching your videos. I apply it to vtol vr, I'm quite successful more times than not.

[@maverickmissile801]

YES!!! I love the f15 stol/mtd videos!

[@jessediego4096]

Like fighting Grabacr squadron all over again. Props if you understood that reference.

I was praying for an F15 video and then lo and behold

[@markstockie4140]

Another amazing show. Even when the odds are not in your favor you score 2 kills. I will save this one to watch again.

[@grimblegromblethegnome]

This was a fun one, thanks.

[@brycewilson5594]

Great flight! And yes, please do a flight in the F-15!

[@laff__8821]

"it might actually hit the groun-" *splosh*

[@Peter_Morris]

Oh I was hoping to see you in the F-15 MTD. Still fun to watch, but I wanted to see externals of those canards working around the Eagle.

[@johndoe-fy6jz]

Hey I'm not sure if anyone's mentioned it or not but this video has some funny artifacts or shimmering during some of the turns, 7:42 or so is when it's really prominent. Makes it hard to track the bogey for us.

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

I think you guys are referring to the water ? on the canopy ? am I correct ?

[@lamontj.1099]

I saw a demo video of an F15EX doing some crazy moves. It'd be nice to an F15C vs an EX.

[@lq1129]

Yes, please fly this F15 vs SU35, SU57, or F18

[@MonkeyandJesus]

STOL/MTD F-15 best F-15

[@railgunduck]

Hell yeah it is, love it as well

[@leonardolanzara4486]

it's funny to notice that the canards of this F-15 STOL/MTD were originally the tail elevators of an F/A-18 Hornet!

[@denkeylee]

I think on the second fight he thought he got you and relaxed and let his guard down.

[@HoTrEtArDeDcHiXx]

Boeing probably likes the squish instead of the splat cause it sounds innocent 😇

[@SeanG-r8k]

Man this video was sick and interesting, love ur content, keep it up lol🔥🔥🔥

[@MrRobotsk8r]

First fight was so brutal

[@raphaelsantiago9387]

Technically the F-16 can also do a cobra without AoA limiters without going into a deep stall (block 15 and later).

[@Yaaasuko]

Definitely would like to see you flying the F-15 STOL/MTD

[@MTerrence]

The F-15 is my favourite fighter of all time, so of course I want to see a video with you in it!

[@Occasional-Win]

Round 2 was epic. Great fight!

[@xX_Gravity_Xx]

Now seems like an appropriate time to ask for that thing against the SU-35SM and the F-22.

[@wolfboylikesmetal]

with all those control surfaces is it really a good idea to move assuming he's fast, surely he can just shed that speed super quick.

[@cedric_KFN]

The F-15 STOL is my absolute favorite aircraft period! Should you do a Video flying it? Yes please! And not just one! I'd absolutely love to see it up against supermaneuverable 4th and 5th gen aircraft. Guns only, Fox 2 or BVR, I promise you that I will watch absolutely everything with that plane in it! Gimme moooaaarrr

[@Midcon77]

Yes would love to see you fly that -15!

9:51 It's true in boxing, and it's true in dogfighting: protect yourself at all times.

[@starvalkyrie]

Rare Ground to Air kill for the F-15

[@jasonf1978]

Yes, please put the F-15 STOL/MTD through some dogfights.

[@luckybadgerapples]

Another video of this F-15 vs. some Flankers or a Felon would be interesting.

[@Taternader]

I'd love to see more new F-15 S/MTD content. I very much enjoy fighting it in the F-14B. you could try that for a video

[@spilledmilkgamingYT]

Ya it’s a sad reality of DCS wish they would fix it.

Superb flying from both pilots

[@chuckshaw1593]

Please do more videos with the F15 STOL/MTD! Also the camo paint job is nice little touch 👌🏻.

[@laszlokiss4409]

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU EJECTED WHEN YOU LOST A WING, YOU STILL HAD ONE MORE LEFT!!!"

[@andersjjensen]

If some jet engine company manages to make an engine that fits in the F-16 but has 60-70% more thrust that little bird is going to be an absolute handful.

[@louv4437]

Yes would love to see you fly the STOL

[@thorstenoeltjen6618]

would be often more interesting to see a 3 of 6 or so if both pilots use one plane three times (balancing skills versus plane advantages)

[@ichfaildichweg]

Just WTF. I cant believe how compeditive the F-16 is.

what was the weird artifacts on the screen at around 1.25 ish looked like heat? is that a new feature
