- Three 492nd Fighter Squadron F-15E Strike Eagles leave RAF Lakenheath. Except one doesn't quite get that far. Incredible reactions from the third pilot as the aircraft was seconds away from V1 (take-off).

That's incredible! Would you be okay with me featuring this in an episode of Weekly Dose of Aviation? Of course you will be credited both in the video and in the description.
That would be lovely. Thank you @lucaas
Reflex responses of the pilot were excellent. Training builds muscle memory, muscle memory saves lives.
I saw no parachute.
and wins wars!
@@erbenton07 Never is perfect.
@@Paul_MuadDib The F-15E has no chute
Good video coverage. 2 things when I was in the Air Force. #1--we had a T-38 lose the transmission just after take off, lost all hydraulics and generators. Came back on battery, electric trim control, no landing gear. Messed up the lower fuselage but was back in service a month later. #2--saw a J85 engine self destruct in the test cell. Destroyed the building and seriously injured the technicians. Caused by using non standards bolts on some of the primary compressor blades. Bolts broke on high throttle setting throwing the turbine out of balance and catastrophic failure. Another failure comes to mind...a T-38 had an explosion in the left engine on take off, with resulting fire. Pilot managed to land and save the aircraft. Caused by crack in fuel line serving the afterburner. Upon ignition of afterburner leaking fuel also ignited. Aircraft was permanently taken out of service and salvaged for spare parts.
Yup, when i was in the service (Air Force, I was a ground equipment mechanic) they were EXTREMELY strict about what hardware was to be used in the equipment. Makes sense considering the torques involved.
Back in 1979 I was a flight Engineer on a C141-A Star Lifter during a 3 ship airdrop mission out of NAS North Island. We were the second to take off, only just prior to rotate speed the number three engine disintegrated. So now the third plane already in take roll had to figure what that sixty meter long flame was and decide to stop. Fortunately the Navy Fire Department was in line will with beginning of the runway and felt the blast wave and rolled before a call was put out. Just as we stopped they were right there. Other than the engine no damage to the airplane and all 109 jumpers (with there parachutes and gear on) and aircrew got out safely.
Just realized how boring I am !
Oh how I would like to see the write ups on some of these videos. As long as my name isn’t mentioned. I was two states over.
Damn. This is what they mean by "being one" with the machine. Great camera work, too!
Awesome capture! May I feature this clip in one of my next episodes? Of course with a link back to your original video. Cheers!
Yes, absolutely
This is extremely rare and deserves more views good work.
Impressive reaction time!!
Impressive indeed!
I think you are assessed on your quick response if you want to be a fighter pilot. Essential in life-threatening situations.
Yes he cuts the engine back , hits the speed brake and uses flaps all within a few seconds.
Great video of this rare situation during takeoff. 👍🏼 Glad it happened on the runway.
The bright orange glow you see as takeoff roll is initiated is the afterburner igniting. On #3, you can see both afterburners ignite but then the left engine compressor stalls (increase of glow) and the pilot immediately brings both engines to idle, terminating afterburner (orange glow). The left engine may have flamed out (quit) or the compressor stall might have cleared and the engine remained running...only in idle.
Right and anyway with one engine the F15 is not having any problem taking off, flying and coming back for landing, due to the huge power available per each engine, but of course what he did was the best and as the runway length was allowing this!...
@@marukadate6496 I saw no parachute.
@@Paul_MuadDib Eagles don't have a dragshoot
The sound of the nozzles closing at 1:32
Damn that's where that extra bolt goes
All these comments alluding to compressor stall and flameout. I did not hear any surge or compressor stall type sounds, so it was likely a simple afterburner blow out, which means the engine is running at mil power but the AB flame blew out. Looks like the nozzle began to close after the blowout, which it should do in mil power, but then opened up as the pilot initiated the abort.
Fantastic capture! May I feature this F15 takeoff in my next compilation video? Of course I'll provide a link back to your original video. All the best to you!
Well captured. 👍
Excellent capture👍
It's called a "flameout".
an instance of the flame in the combustion chamber of a jet engine being extinguished, with a resultant loss of power.
A "blowout" is when the jet engine self destructs.
A blowout is an afterburner blowout. That's what this likely was. The basic engine remained running at military power and the burner just blew out. The plane was in no danger and the abort was simply the correct procedure for early in the takeoff roll.
I see the video of RAF Lakenheath flightline and it brings back those days at RAF Upper Heford. NATO in the 70's, those cold bleak days/nights of doing end of runway prelaunch checks. Like the saying went...sleep tight tonight, Heyford's on Alert....
Nice one, Alan, well captured!
Wow, Nice capture!
May I use this clip in next Aviation compilation video ?
Thanks!
I TOLD the refueller not to put his Taco Bell Breakfast Burrito in the fuel tank! Did he listen? Did he fu.........
Burrito? He put his XXXL Octuple Caribbean Espresso coffee into the tank.😉
Must have been the Jalapeno in it.
Definitely high pucker factor on that takeoff run. Glad the pilot was on his game. Well done.
Very impressive capture Mate, exacly in the right moment :D
And That's why they have two engines :)
I may be imagining things, but at about 1:43 or so, it seems like the left engine is getting brighter, then it flames out at 1:44.
Impressive how quick the Eagle driver caught it and reacted.

@@kayakconfessions4121Not in our world. They are called Eagle drivers. Even the "Pilots" will tell you that. Former Crew Chief
Wow, that's amazing! Is it ok to showcase this in an upcoming episode? You will receive full credit in the description, thanks :)
Awesome catch man!
Right time right place nice work.
Awesome video! May I use it In one of my videos? (I will of course link back to your video in the description)
💥 Great pilot 👍💪
I mean the reaction was near instant, must have gone with a good bang inside for his cue :D Great job, LN has had some drama lately eh ??
Nice reaction time.. 🥇
Could I use your video in a compilation on my channel? I'll give proper credits and link to the original video.
Take off into the wake of previous aircraft might be the cause of compressor stall?
Nice vid!!!!
Actual footage of me and the guys leaving work on a Friday arvo when the boss says you can go early.
Came here to see all the expert comments on what exactly happened.
Gas bill in the UK, he got cut off....
Est ce une obligation de décoller avec la post-combution ??
That's a good time in the takeoff to abort; five seconds later might have been too late and you're committed to takeoff. I'm sure the F-15 would have no problem with this but you're not going to continue the mission with a defective engine. Take it back to the barn.
Can I use this video in my airplane compilations section?You will be credited both in the video and in the description.
Please do. Apologies for the delay.
Fantastic video, bro! I want to use it in a video for my channel; is it okay? We'll give you credit in the video.and my description includes a connection to your original video. Regards
Houston...we have à problem.
Same thing happened to me in my 1971 Ford Pinto
I was going 133 mph
I died
I'm 0kay now
THIS is the color USAF Class A Uniforms should be!
My guess is it ingested hot gas from the preceding plane.
The exhaust from the previous F-15E had blown off the runway already in the wind. Conditions are pretty cold there most of the year, which is nice, thick air for engines to breathe. It’s pretty rare for an F100-PW-229 to flame out. F-15E 97-220 is a later-built F-15E with F100-PW-229 motors. I looked up its tail code.
Good thing it happened on the ground and not airborne. Better to roll than hit the ground at any height.
Needs a new head gasket and looks like it blew a hole in the piston as well! 😁
Worked F15s for years. Try being underneath it on the trim pad when that happens. Scares the crap out of you.
At least the engine let go before it got off the ground.
It was just a burner blowout. That is more common early during takeoff than later, and if it happened after airborne it would not have been a big problem
Do they use V1 concept in the USAF ?
Yes
Ruh-oh, Rorge!
hello, permission to add your video to the aviation video collection. We'll put a link for viewers to go back to your video!
😱
What was the reason for to blow out
It needs premium bro, premium!
Left engine light came on and said “No”.
A Pilot is always "cocked" in the abort process on takeoff, well at least I was for 26 years. I always considered takeoff to be more dangerous than a landing.
Compressor stall?
Looks like it
well you can be sure its too much fuel not enough air
Generally called a flameout
No. It's called an AB blowout. Engine is still running fine.
AB blowout, Pratt's are known for these.
What is this thing that is going up when the pilots stops the plane?
That’s the air brake to disrupt air flow.
pilot be like.. emergency procedure all done. now it's time to check my undies. 😂
That's called a Flame Out
Better to happen then, than to happen at Vr (rotate, when the aircraft brings the nose wheel off the ground during takeoff). that might have been really damned messy at Vr.
But a fighter jet can still take off with one engine right?
"...was seconds away from V1 (take-off)". V1 is not take-off speed, and I doubt it applies to an F-15.
V1 is the abort decision speed, past V1 you typically don't have enough runway left to stop before the end. Past V1 you're committed to take off, even if you need to turn around and land immediately . This applies to all aircraft, including the F15
V1 - max abort speed
Vr - rotation speed (liftoff)
V2 - minimum climb speed after takeoff
coffins flew
What is the sound @ 0:31?
It's the exhaust nozzles cycling, especially obvious on Eagles which have no turkey feathers.
@@dmanton300 Not the nozzle, but the CENC which actuates the nozzle. Powered by compressor air whose exhaust makes that unique sound
Bang, compressor stall.
Wonder what caused it.
The pilot seemed to already be advancing the throttles whilst still turning onto the runway heading 🤔
Good reaction and save though.
That’s quite normal🤷🏻♂️
Nothing abnormal about that, less separation means that the pilot has to use less fuel to rendezvous with the lead.
@@Nghilifa Less separation increases the risk of hot gas ingestion-induced stalls.. kinda like what you see in this video ;) We had one recently that was very interesting as it was a first in some time
Flameout..
compressor stall
No. It's called an AB blowout.
@@jjthajett Can you describe what is is exactely ? air pressure, temp, ignition problem ?
@@12345fowler The afterburner blows out. Could have been anything from augmenter fuel issue to a dirty flame sensor. IIRC the flame sensor gets "cleaned" every 10 hours.
@@jjthajett ok, then the AB goes out but the engine is still producing max mil power right ?
ハードライトだ!!!!!😫
V1 is not take off speed - it’s the take off decision speed. After you pass it you are committed to take off. Irrelevant though, as the term isn’t used on F15s!
Thanks. I’m not a pilot but used to work in commercial aviation and it’s the only term which I could think of.
Last Blow - out I was involved with was a Female Corpsman and a Squad Bay Door
Hey Alan Kenny, do you have an email address at which we could contact you regarding this video? We would be interested to discuss a license to use this video if this is generally possible? (i.e. via email) :) Cheers, Felix
Comp stall
Ohhh That’s a “RED BALL” … jets can have that fixed in 20 minutes…
Possibly something to do with the previous jet?
😉👍
Maybe exhaust gas ingestion from previous jets.
Some days your not supposed to go up
Stand by crash stand by crash.....10 10 10....Attention in the station attention on the air......
Quite lucky if he had got further along at speed or even just slightly airborne he would have been punching out
He could circle back with one engine, couldn’t he?
It was likely just a burner blowout, not engine failure. That is more common early during takeoff than later, and if it happened after airborne it would not have been a big problem.
how about nope.
Hopefully that won't happen again
Abort, abort, abort.
🙈🤣😂🙈

You are doing justice to your name.

what's a terrible shame it didn't crash and ground all the other aircraft, said maybe we can get some f****** peace and quiet
Oh dear, you're not one of those people who's moved in near an airport and is upset about the sound of aeroplanes are you 🙄 bit like people who move in next to a church and compassion about the bells...
