Air Force Crew Chief gets to ride back seat in an F-15E. I didn't fasten the helmet chin strap correctly so it's a good thing we didn't eject. I didn't know we over g'd the jet until the next day.
Dude...I always thought that hardcore rock music was the way to go for a fighter video but I loved the music choice. You captured the way this pilot feels every time he flies.
Must have been awesome, to see how what you work so hard for on the ground gets to do in the air. Amazing share and what a lucky guy. And actually this music fits this well. Because if your an aviation nut.. it would be paradise.
Great video! You are truly blessed to have had the opportunity to get an incentive flight in a F-15. I got to ride in the back of a KC-10 over Southern Iraq many years ago. But that is nothing compared to riding along in one of the greatest fighters ever made.
Flying inside the airliner is one thing (seeing the world thru a small window) but flying in a jet, seeing it thru an open canopy must be a feeling of another world.
Congratulations... an awesome video! I really envy you.... I was an F-5E/F crew chief at the Chilean Air Force and I was incentivated with several rides in different kind of mission: ACT, Gunnery, Instruments... it was a very effective incentive for stay longer at the Air Force... Unfortunetely I have no records (pictures or videos) of those flights..... Just those memories.... the best of my life!
Wonderful that USAF is still giving incentive rides to those that keep the aircraft flying. I'm sure it was an exciting experience for him, and let him realize his importance. Flew the -135 for most of my AF career, and the crew chiefs were invaluable! My heartfelt THANKS TO ALL OF THEM!! Excellent video.
Red Arrows do same for their mechanics its like a thankyou for looking after them and the planes...nice touch,when my dad in RAF flew F4M..Phantom,was able to get back seat...what a plane....my favourite old jet..0-10,000 feet in 35-45 seconds or so?...awesome...like a team of horses pushing you up...
Glad to see a CREW CHIEF getting the ride.

At first I thought your choice of song was dumb, but after watching this I realized it was genius.

The visibility those glass cockpits are incredible.
Twice the sunset in a Strike Eagle.... envy! Perfect video, thank you.
Beautiful music selection by far.
Just beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

I think that is perhaps the best flying video I've seen online. Thanks Chief. Very well done.
Yet another cool video, but with music... doesn't anybody believe in natural sound?
I was an F-4C crew chief at RAF Bentwaters England
Great Video Mate you lucky man, All the best from Oz.
I could watch this all day long.
AWESOME video! I miss working on the F-15's No other bird like it!!!

Great video, former AF SP here. Wish I could've done this. Thanks for posting!
