- Capt Phil "Ritz" Smith and Capt John "Gizmo" Cox start up and fly a low demo at the 2009 "Amigo Airsho" held at Biggs Army Airfield in Ft Bliss, TX. While filming this sequence I made sure to include lots of startup footage, including the cycling of the exhaust nozzles and flight control checks. As for the flight, locals said its the first time they've seen that much vapor on a jet in years. Enjoy!

Anybody giving an F-15 a "thumbs down" needs a serious mental evaluation.
there is no better JFS start up in the world than that of an F15
Brian F , no F14 was better.
@@chrismason8722 key world “is”. He F-14 is long gone, the F-15 not only lives on but is still being produced.
One of the best movies around with the authentic F-15 sound! Thanks a lot
Awesome sound on the JFS and eng start. First time I heard the eng start I was on TDY at Zaragosa and it was a Bit F-15 acft. Couple yrs later I was at MDC on the F-15E line on the Flt Line.
Yup.. This is hands down the best bid AND audio I've seen. U F-15 guys I noticed on here (I mentioned this on another bid of F-15s here) that they pull chokes, pull fwd a bit, then do the checks again. I get the checking but I never got the pulling fwd first. Thanks ahead of time.
A very well done video! I love hearing the PW-229's fire up - the sound is incredible.....
I love seeing my friends from Seymour Johnson and partners in the desert several times. I now live a few hours away from Goldsboro.
I however love seeing my old base Biggs Air Force Base again. I spent 4 years stationed there and loved it. I was really sorry to see them close it. We had the second largest hangers in the world I believe because we had B-52's and KC-135 tankers. The Thunderbirds did an Air show their and it was awesome Flying over Mt. Franklin and the base.
Kudos to Seymour Johnson
Lord! How I miss the sounds of my F-15 cranking up. Last time I heard it for real was in 1992.
Did you guys ever done missions with HARMS? I was wondering if the E is even able to do anything with it cus i have never seen one with it. It said it has it in its arsenal but it mention harpoons as well so i became a bit unsure.
The F-15, all models... has to be the best looking fighter around. Even as it ages, it just keeps looking better! Thanks for the vid.
Nothing like the sound of an F-15..
F-22 is even louder :)
@3:20 that "whoooop" sound from the nozzle change I always heard growing up around an F-15C base as they approached landing, sometimes 500' or lower over our house depending on the runway and pattern. Always thought it was the dorsal speed break deploying.
12:15; absolutely sweet combination of maneuvers.....Nice! Considering the field elevation and the DA, they sure made it bite the air that day. Beautiful planform.
even though the F15 is over 40 years old, they still have a very intimidating look about them. Especially the "E" models.
The E model is about 15 years newer than the A/B/C/D models
AWESOME! Thank you for sharing this video. Great vid, and thanks for not ruining it with music. Nothing beats the sound of a screaming F-15!
I agree with A8187. The sound of the nozzle adjusting is VERY loud. I was able to hear them on a F-15 on final approach. I was about 1/4 from the end of the runway, on the "HOT" line.
Outstanding video! Man, I really miss the sound of my F-15.

lived near Shady J in Goldsboro NC for 8 years and I miss that sound. TBH, I miss all the sounds of the big boys from Moffett Field where I grew up in CA, to the helicopters and Ospreys at Camp Lejeune in NC.
AWESOME! just AWESOME!!! Great demo, the "Mud Hen" looked great, way to get close and film the snot out of the strike eagle!!! Hell of a job keep them coming!
Crewed 0495 many times. This is giving me flashbacks...
I had these guys sign my hat at Duxford Air show last year :D
I miss being on the flightline retired in 08 wish I could do it all over again!!! Miss my 15's.

I joined the AF in 85 and worked on eagles as a weapons man at Nellis. Great days.
weird...but when i was based at SJAFB where these jets are from, i complained how i didnt like the base, but when i see the jets being showcased i get a small hint of pride back
Gives me cool flashbacks when I participated in F-15 launches. Lots of goosebumps. :-)
I agree mega... The 15 is sooo nice looking. The other was the 14.. I loved to watch the variable wings. They would be swept back as he came screaming in then swing out as he pulled a hard turn and slowed to land.
Loved It!
Wish I had been there. Awesome stuff
@zarniwoop42
HMMMMM, well form the sound of it the JFS or APU power's up a turbine airstarter that uses bleed air from the APU.
Frekin' sweet !!
The beast!!! Eternal glory to the Mudhen
The people that choose the songs that are played at these airshows should be blown up in the role demo's!
so Sweet!
3:18 = the best sound in aviation
SWEET footage. Btw, how do you get vids over 10 minutes? Is it that YT partnership thing?
damn i love the sound of that bird startin up... now THAT my friends is music
Thumbs up 3:16 the most awesome sound EVER !!!
@roadrodent1952 Could you maybe tell me how the JFS of the F-15 works? I know how it works on the F-16, just a small turbine but the JFS of the F-15 sounds so different, not like the small turbine of the F-16's JFS. It allmost seems that the actuall turbine is started when the pilot wants to start either engine.
I did not know the guy in the back can raise and lower his seat......very cool
@AFEaglekeeper
Join the "club". I worked on -15s for nearly 12 years and retired out in 1992. Been checking out these vids just to see and hear them again.
Does this have to be done on every start up before take off?
So would you say that an Turbine Airstarter is quicker to engine lite off than just useing pure bleed air?
Beautiful aircraft! One of my favorites! Great footage, I do have a request... If you ever see an F-4D at an airshow, can you just film the crap out of it, just like this video?
at 2:26 the duct drops down. Anybody know why?
@StdntPilotMark
Did you work on F-15a? If so where andf when? Worked on the them myself at 4 different bases from 1977 to early 1992.
What camera did you shoot this with?
MERICA🦅🦅🦅
What's that Formula 1 sound when they start the engines? It's not the JFS right? Cause that is a turbine engine and a turbine engine does not sound like a Formula 1 car.
3:09 cool
if you all think this is try being in front of 4 Eagles both F-15C and F-15E starting up at the same time
1 person has never felt the power of the STRIKE EAGLE! ....perhaps they need a live personal demonstration!!!!
i hear a lo-pac
Sorry 8127
No I'm not THAT bad of a speller. I'm on my IPhone and the auto spell checker thinks it knows what I want even before I'm done typing the word. If I don't catch, it looks like my last post. Plus the Morphine I'm on for my back does a number. Also, I noticed in this vid that the JFS sounds like it's speeds up just before it disengages. I never heard one that sounded this way.
The cost of 1 eagle could feed the homeless immigrants in El Paso for years
Bad to the bone!
too bad the f-22's engines are way more powerful and more fuel efficient..lol
