I so admire the character of these faithful warriors! The price they have paid certainly earns my respect. I appreciate this pilot taking the time to tell his story.
I can't imagine the adrenaline rush one would get flying a high performance aircraft in a combat situation and yet it seems like in every interview the pilots exhibit a calm demeanor as though it was just a ho-hum day at the office. That never ceases to amaze me. They are all heroes in my book. (MSgt, ANG, retired)
As far as speed the F-15 is limited to 800 KCAS (clean) while the F-105 was limited to 810 KCAS. This is a structural limitation even though the airplanes have enough thrust to exceed it at low altitude. I wouldn't be at all be surprised that the 105 felt more stable in the part of the flight envelope for which its design was optimized. It had much higher wing loading and I wouldn't be surprised if it was also endowed with greater static longitudinal stability.
@@umesh01patel53I seem to recall from an episode of Wings of the Red Star that there was an even larger one. It’s the Tupolev Tu-28, but I also think it was an interceptor - does that count? I could just ask the Goog, yet here we are 😂😂 Cheers!
1:39 court grants divorce. He didn’t respond to divorce petition within 30 days. He didn’t respond because he was in the POW camp. They sent a copy of the divorce petition to Hanoi but he never got it. What a way to treat an American warrior. Sad 😢 😞 😡

Excellent video!👍
I wish to see more from this channel is about the f9f cougar..anyway thanks a lot for another nice presentation..
I’m told it’s faster and more stable down low than the F15. Purely anecdotal from someone with experience in high performance aircraft.

Badass looking aircraft
If I'm correct it is the largest single-engine fighter ever built?
Yes
